.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1024 AM CST Tue Nov 09 2021/
...Western Washington/northwest Oregon...
A shortwave trough and related cold front will continue to move
eastward/inland through the afternoon. Via cloud breaks and a
trough-associated pocket of -30C 500 mb temperatures, low/mid-level
lapse rates will steadily steepen this afternoon, with a few hundred
J/kg SBCAPE expected to be maximized along the Washington Coast.
This may be sufficient for some semi-stout/sustained low-topped
thunderstorms, with strong deep-layer southwesterly winds
potentially supportive of organized clusters and possibly a
weak/transient supercell or two. A brief tornado and/or convectively
enhanced damaging wind gust will be possible, particularly in
near-coastal Washington areas this afternoon.
