Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0100 AM CDT Mon Mar 12 2018 Valid 141200Z - 151200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... A few thunderstorms are possible Wednesday across portions of the Great Basin into the central Rockies. ...Great Basin/Central Rockies... Strong short-wave trough will translate into NV by 18z Wednesday before ejecting into ID/WY by 15/06z. Large-scale forcing for ascent should aid mid-level moistening as lapse rates steepen in advance of this feature. Additionally, modest boundary-layer heating is expected to contribute to destabilization and forecast soundings favor at least some potential for deep convection ahead of the short wave. While PW values will remain seasonally low across this region, cold mid-level temperatures should enhance lightning production. For these reasons have introduced 10% thunder probabilities to account for convective potential primarily between 14/18z-15/02z. ..Darrow.. 03/12/2018
