Areas affected...Eastern Montana

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 242204Z - 250000Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...A few strong to severe thunderstorms will occur this
evening over parts of eastern Montana.  Large hail and gusty winds
are possible.  A watch is unlikely.

DISCUSSION...Latest surface analysis shows a cold front extending
from eastern Phillips County MT southwestward to west of Billings.=20
Visible satellite imagery shows a cu field that clearly shows the
front position.  Scattered thunderstorms have begun to form along
and ahead of front, in a moderately moist and unstable air mass
(dewpoints in the upper 50s and MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg).  Steep
mid-level lapse rates will promote robust updrafts, but rather weak
southerly flow through the low/mid troposphere will limit overall
convective organization (effective shear < 25 knots).  A few
organized multicell storms capable of hail and gusty winds are
expected for the next few hours, but current indications are that
the majority of storms will remain below severe limits.  Therefore
not currently planning on watch issuance.
