    Areas affected...eastern Oregon...southeast Washington...northern
    Idaho and northwest Montana

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 032214Z - 040015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A few storms may become capable of producing isolated
    downburst winds over the Pacific Northwest region and northern
    Rockies this evening. Coverage of any severe events is expected to
    remain too sparse for a WW.

    DISCUSSION...Diabatic heating over the higher terrain and forcing
    for ascent attending a northeast-advancing shortwave trough are
    contributing to the development of thunderstorms, initially across
    parts of OR. Steep lapse rates are in place with low-level dewpoints
    in the 30s to low 40s contributing to MLCAPE generally near or below
    500 J/kg. Wind profiles are largely unidirectional, but a mid-level
    speed max within base of upper trough is resulting in 35-45 kt
    effective bulk shear. Large temperature-dewpoint spreads will
    promote a threat for isolated downburst winds, especially within the
    higher reflectivity cores, and marginally severe hail may also
    accompany the stronger storms. Primary limiting factor for a more
    robust severe event is weak instability, and activity should begin a diminishing trend shortly after sunset.
