   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
   THE INTERIOR PACIFIC NORTHWEST INTO THE NORTHERN GREAT
   BASIN/ROCKIES...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated to scattered thunderstorms across the northern Great Basin
   and parts of the interior Pacific Northwest may be capable of
   occasional strong to severe wind gusts this afternoon and evening.

   ...Interior Pacific Northwest into the Northern Great
   Basin/Rockies...
   Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a closed low near the
   northern CA/southern OR coast.  This upper feature will move east
   through OR and be situated along the OR/ID border by daybreak
   Tuesday.  A belt of stronger flow (30-50 kt 500-mb winds) will move
   through the base of the larger-scale mid-level trough and overspread
   northern NV into southwestern ID and eastern OR this afternoon into
   the early evening.  Large-scale ascent associated with the upper
   disturbance and the development of weak buoyancy (mainly via
   heating), will facilitate the development of isolated to scattered
   high-based thunderstorms beginning later this afternoon and
   persisting into the evening.  Forecast soundings show large surface
   temperature-dewpoint spreads (50 degrees F) with 9+ degrees C lapse
   rates into the mid levels and a dry sub-cloud layer.  Evaporative
   cooling of the more intense downdrafts will probably yield a risk
   for isolated 60-70 mph gusts before weakening later this evening.
