...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION
OF UTAH...

...SUMMARY...
The risk for severe storms will remain low across the U.S. Saturday.

...Synopsis...

A progressive upper trough will move through the West Coast states
Saturday, continuing into the Great Basin during the afternoon and
the central Rockies overnight accompanied by a Pacific cold front.
Farther east a cold front will advance southeast through the
northern Plains into the upper Mississippi Valley in association
with a northern-stream shortwave trough advancing through central
Canada.

...Pacific Northwest through Great Basin and Central Rockies...

Bands of convection including thunderstorms will likely be ongoing
within frontal zone from parts of CA into OR. In wake of the early
activity, other post-frontal showers and thunderstorms may spread
inland during the day in association with cold air aloft and steep
lapse rates accompanying the upper trough. Convection within frontal
band will continue/redevelop east into the Great Basin during the
day as the atmosphere destabilizes downstream. Strong deep-layer
winds will accompany the upper trough which, along with steep lapse
rates and inverted-v boundary layers, may promote a marginal risk of
a few locally strong to damaging wind gusts with convection
developing in this region during the afternoon. 

...Northern Plains...

Modified continental-polar air will advect north into the central
and northern Plains beneath steep lapse rates as southerly
boundary-layer winds increase downstream from evolving lee trough.
This process will contribute to modest instability in vicinity of
the front from the Dakotas into MN. A few elevated storms may
develop in this region in association with increasing isentropic
ascent within the frontal zone.
