...TN/GA region...
Water vapor loop shows a fast-moving shortwave trough over IN/KY.
this feature will rotate southeastward across parts of the TN valley
and central Appalachians this afternoon and evening, providing the
lift and focus for scattered showers and thunderstorms. Moisture
and instability are quite limited in this region. However, strong
wind fields and fast storm motions, coupled with sufficient vertical
shear for some organization, may promote gusty winds and some hail
in the strongest cells.
...Northern Rockies and Great Basin...
A band of showers and thunderstorms is expected to develop once
again this afternoon ahead of a broad upper trough from northern NV
into central ID and western MT. These storms will be capable of
isolated instances of hail and damaging wind gusts. Farther
southeast, forecast soundings parts of UT and southeast ID appear
favorable for dry-microburst activity. CAM solutions suggest
fast-moving showers and a few thunderstorms in this area, posing a
risk of damaging wind gusts.
