    Mesoscale Discussion 1045
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0505 PM CDT Thu Jul 12 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of northeastern/east-central WY and far
    southeastern MT

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 122205Z - 130030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...An isolated severe hail/wind threat should continue
    through the early evening. The coverage of severe thunderstorms will
    likely remain too isolated to warrant watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms have developed this afternoon
    along and just east of the Bighorn Mountains due to weak low-level
    upslope flow and a low-amplitude shortwave trough moving over this
    area. A weak surface front resides to the south of this region, and
    limited moisture remains in the post-frontal environment. Still,
    ample surface heating across much of northeastern into east-central
    WY has allowed surface temperatures to warm into the upper 70s to
    lower 80s. MLCAPE has likewise increased into the 500-1000 J/kg
    range with modestly steep mid-level lapse rates around 7 C/km
    present. Although the low and mid-level flow will likely remain
    limited through the evening, there is enough veering with height to
    support generally 30-40 kt of effective bulk shear. Multicell to
    marginal supercell structures should be the predominant storm modes,
    with an associated large hail and locally damaging wind threat.
    Current radar/satellite trends suggest the severe threat will likely
    remain quite isolated through the evening, before diminishing with
    the loss of daytime heating and increasing convective inhibition.
    Therefore, watch issuance will probably not be needed.
