No watch issuance is anticipated. DISCUSSION...The latest water-vapor imagery shows a subtle shortwave trough over the northern Rockies, embedded in southwest mid-level flow. At the surface, a mesolow is analyzed over north-central Montana, with upslope east-southeasterly flow located across much of northern and eastern Montana. Isolated thunderstorms have developed near and to the north of the low along a narrow corridor of instability, where the RAP is estimating SBCAPE in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range. Short-term forecast soundings in north-central Montana early this evening have a relatively dry boundary layer, but show steep lapse rates and moderate deep-layer shear. This may be enough for a marginal severe threat for a few hours. Strong gusts and hail will be possible. ...Broyles/Edwards.. 08/12/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4uHNe2o1audHn8tCObmysvcGnp13y-p5Ps5_nl9EL9I699tls7Zmw5EaKO_8VF4RDRfIzMU55= UF5nrR0MlXoRJpqMBc$ for graphic product...
