   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
   THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND GREAT BASIN....

   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
   TN/GA AND SURROUNDING STATES...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated strong/severe thunderstorms may develop over portions of
   the northern Great Basin/northern Rockies this afternoon and
   evening.  A couple of strong/severe storms may also develop near the
   southern Appalachians later today.

   ...TN/GA region...
   Water vapor loop shows a fast-moving shortwave trough over IN/KY. 
   this feature will rotate southeastward across parts of the TN valley
   and central Appalachians this afternoon and evening, providing the
   lift and focus for scattered showers and thunderstorms.  Moisture
   and instability are quite limited in this region.  However, strong
   wind fields and fast storm motions, coupled with sufficient vertical
   shear for some organization, may promote gusty winds and some hail
   in the strongest cells.

   ...Northern Rockies and Great Basin...
   A band of showers and thunderstorms is expected to develop once
   again this afternoon ahead of a broad upper trough from northern NV
   into central ID and western MT.  These storms will be capable of
   isolated instances of hail and damaging wind gusts.  Farther
   southeast, forecast soundings parts of UT and southeast ID appear
   favorable for dry-microburst activity.  CAM solutions suggest
   fast-moving showers and a few thunderstorms in this area, posing a
   risk of damaging wind gusts.
