    Areas affected...Most of eastern MT...northeast WY...and western SD.

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 072049Z - 072245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong to marginally severe storms are expected
    through the afternoon and into the early evening. A watch is
    unlikely.

    DISCUSSION...Isolated storms have developed this afternoon ahead of
    a low amplitude upper wave in central MT. These storms initiated
    over the higher terrain, but have recently started to become better
    rooted in the lower elevations to the northeast of Billings. In
    addition, a few storms have developed on/near a differential heating
    boundary in northern MT. While areas east of these storms still have
    weak convective inhibition per 20Z RAP mesoanalysis, continued
    heating should erode the remaining inhibition in the next few hours.
    This will provide a window for occasional strong updrafts as this
    environment is characterized by MLCAPE values up to 1000 J/kg. In
    addition, effective shear of 30 to 40 knots will aid in updraft
    organization near the MT/WY border. The well-mixed sub-cloud
    boundary layer will also enhance the wind threat with these storms.
    Given the marginal nature of both the instability and shear profile,
    there is a threat for localized large hail and damaging winds, but
    the isolated nature of stronger storms will likely preclude the need
    for a watch.

    Areas affected...Texas Panhandle...western Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 171813Z - 172015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Initial elevated convection has developed to the south of
    Amarillo, TX with further attempts at initiation along the dryline southeastward towards Childress, TX. Weak elevated instability and
    cold temperatures aloft will support an initial marginally severe
    hail threat. More robust development is expected to evolve out of
    this initial activity within the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...Strong forcing from an approaching upper-level
    shortwave trough has helped to initiate elevated convection to the
    south of AMA sooner than guidance has forecast. Meager instability
    of perhaps 500 J/kg will temper the initial severe threat from these
    storms; however, around 30 kts of effective shear, very steep
    mid-level lapse rates, and cold temperatures aloft will support
    marginally severe hail.

    The greater threat for severe weather appears to be an hour or two
    away from materializing along a dryline from AMA to CDS and a
    quasi-stationary front from AMA to ICT. Current visible satellite
    imagery shows agitated cumulus developing along the aforementioned
    dryline. While the boundary layer has yet to destabilize, surface
    observations have been a few degrees warmer than guidance. As
    further heating occurs across the eastern Texas Panhandle into
    western Oklahoma and vicinity, dewpoints in the upper-50s to low-60s
    will support MLCAPE values of at least 1500-2000 J/kg. Given the
    observational trends, these initial, shallow thunderstorms are
    expected to deepen with time into more robust, organized convection
    capable of large hail and severe wind gusts. Relatively weak
    low-level shear should keep the tornado threat low.
