Areas affected...Portions of Montana and far northwest Wyoming
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 262021Z - 262215Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to increase in
coverage/intensity this afternoon and evening with severe wind/hail
possible. Trends will be monitored for a possible WW issuance.
DISCUSSION...Visible satellite and radar imagery from 2015Z shows
thunderstorms starting to form over the higher terrain of southwest
Montana and northwest Wyoming. RAP analysis suggests moderate
instability over the area (e.g., MLCAPE 1000-2500 J/kg), as strong
insolation (e.g., temperatures in the 70s and 80s) has occurred
within an environment characterized by surface dew points generally
in the 50s and steep mid-level lapse rates. Effective bulk shear
values of 25-35 knots suggest that if storms are able to move off
the higher terrain then they would pose a severe hail/wind threat as
they exhibit transient supercell characteristics (i.e., mid-level
rotation).
Visible satellite imagery and RAP mesoanalysis suggest that a
capping inversion currently resides across portions of
central/eastern Montana. CAM guidance continues to insist that the
CAP will erode enough for at least isolated storm formation around
22-23Z. Large hail and severe wind gusts will be possible with this
activity as it spreads eastward toward North Dakota through the
evening.
A WW issuance may be needed if storms can move off the higher
terrain and/or storms are able to form over portions of
central/eastern Montana.
