Areas affected...Eastern Montana...western North Dakota...and far
northwest South Dakota
Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely
Valid 262246Z - 270045Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to develop across the plains of
eastern Montana in the next few hours. These thunderstorms will pose
a risk of large hail and severe thunderstorm winds. A severe
thunderstorm watch will be needed by 00Z (6 PM MDT).
DISCUSSION...Diffluent mid-level flow will continue to overspread
portions of eastern Montana this evening as a short-wave trough
rotates through the larger-scale flow associated with the closed low
over Utah. In response to this, synoptic-scale ascent will act to
weaken the remaining convective inhibition and allow thunderstorms
to develop across the plains of eastern Montana. The airmass
available to these thunderstorms is characterized by most-unstable
CAPE values up to 4000 J/kg (although 2000 J/kg will be more common)
and deep-layer shear values of 30-40 knots. This environment will be
more than sufficient to support thunderstorm organization and
longevity.
Somewhat large temperature-dewpoint spreads (on the order of 30-40
F) will yield a potential for strong, cold outflows with additional thunderstorm development along the outflows. Eventually these
outflows should either grow upscale enough to be considered a
mesoscale convective system (MCS), or congeal into one. Given the
deep-layer shear and instability axis, this MCS should move eastward
with time, persisting through the evening (past sunset). With time a
slight turn to the east-southeast may occur over the Dakotas as the
better instability will remain across western and central South
Dakota.
A severe thunderstorm watch will be issued by 00Z (6 PM MDT) to
account for the initial thunderstorm threats of large hail and
strong, gusty outflows.
