Rainfall rates of 1-2 inches in 30-60 minutes are expected on a localized basis. DISCUSSION...A combination of visible satellite and local KBLX radar imagery showed a recent uptick in thunderstorm coverage over east-central/southeastern MT over the past hour, near/north of Billings and just south of the I-94 corridor. Numerous outflow boundaries were noted from the convection with varying directional movement, but a larger outflow boundary was identified in eastern Rosebud County, MT, southward into eastern Sheridan County, WY, tracking toward the west, forcing a broken line of thunderstorms along it. The environment was characterized by varying CAPE but 23Z SPC mesoanalysis data showed roughly 1000 to 2000 J/kg across a good portion of the discussion area. Enhanced convergence with the advancement and collision of outflow boundaries should support the development of new thunderstorm cells along with a relative increase in the easterly low level wind behind the outflow boundary translating westward along the MT/WY border. The increased low level convergence coupled with diffluent flow aloft, should allow for an increase in cell coverage, some containing high rainfall rates of 1-2 inches in 30-60 minutes over the next 1-3 hours. Given the 1 to 2 week rainfall anomalies across this region of MT, some areas of flash flooding appear likely, but coverage may be somewhat limited.
