    Mesoscale Discussion 1177

    Areas affected...southeast Montana...northeast Wyoming...southwest
    South Dakota through northern Nebraska

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 272255Z - 280100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated storms will continue to pose a risk for large
    hail and locally strong wind gusts through 02Z followed by a gradual diminishing trend. It appears coverage of storms/severe events will
    probably remain too sparse for a WW issuance, but trends will
    continue to be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Very isolated storms continue developing within a broad
    northwest flow regime from the northern Rockies through the central
    Plains of northern NE. A few subtle vorticity maxima, the higher
    terrain, and convective boundaries continue to serve as focusing
    mechanisms for initiation. Based on current surface observations
    with temperatures in the 70s and dewpoints in the 50s F, along with
    RAP forecast sounding, the storms are developing within a marginally
    unstable environment with 800-1200 J/kg MLCAPE along with modest
    (6.5-7.5 C/km) mid-level lapse rates. However, effective bulk shear
    from 45-50 kt and the discrete nature of the storms will continue to
    support a few supercell structures capable of large hail and locally
    strong downdrafts. Due to very sparse storm coverage and somewhat
    limited duration of the greater severe threat (next 3 hours or so),
    a WW will probably not be needed.
