    Areas affected...Parts of the northern Rockies

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 071920Z - 072045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A few brief severe storms are possible this afternoon, but
    watch issuance appears unlikely.

    DISCUSSION...Convection has blossomed across much of the northern
    Rockies this afternoon, with a few deeper cores noted in MRMS CAPPI
    products. Ongoing insolation and adequate boundary-layer moisture
    (e.g., surface dew points in the 40s/lower 50s) are favorable for a
    few more vigorous updrafts within an environment characterized by
    MLCAPE near 500-1000 J/kg. Regional VWP and mesoanalysis data
    suggest mid-level flow and related deep-layer shear remain modest --
    perhaps around 25-30 kt of effective shear at most. Additionally,
    large-scale ascent appears nebulous, given slight height rises
    behind an impulse lifting northeast across Montana. In turn, most
    convection may be strongly rooted to terrain circulations, resulting
    in some weakening as they move towards lower elevations. Therefore,
    the severe threat appears too limited for watch issuance at this
    time, but a few stronger cells may be capable of brief gusty winds
    and marginally severe hail.
