.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 232 PM MDT Mon Jul 1 2019

Convection popping over se Wy currently but not really organizing

and tstms once again in the aftn and evening, a few potentially
strong.  Activity waning in the evening.

Fairly stagnant weather pattern over the region through the period
