Severe Storm Risk - South Salt Lake, UT

There is a Marginal Severe Storm Risk for your location. Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHERN IDAHO AND NORTHERN UTAH SUMMARY While strong to locally severe winds may occur with low-topped convection through early afternoon across parts of southern Idaho and northern Utah, the overall threat for organized severe thunderstorms appears low. Interior Northwest and Northern Great Basin/Rockies A powerful mid-level shortwave trough and associated sub-980 mb surface low will move quickly eastward today across the interior Northwest/northern Rockies and adjacent western Canada. A strong surface cold front will likewise translate east-southeastward over the northern Intermountain/Great Basin region late this morning into the afternoon. Widespread cloud cover remains prevalent ahead of the front across southern ID into northern UT and vicinity, with cool surface temperatures and very limited low-level moisture also present. MUCAPE is expected to remain only barely sufficient to support convection. But, given the enhanced flow at low levels noted on recent VWPs from KCBX/KSFX, it is not entirely out of the question that convectively augmented gusts may exceed the already strong background gradient winds on a localized basis. The Marginal Risk has therefore been maintained for parts of southern ID/northern UT and vicinity, even though the overall threat for organized severe thunderstorms will remain low.
