Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 272330Z - 280500Z SUMMARY...Slow moving increasingly efficient thunderstorms capable of 1"/hr and spots of 1.5-2.5" totals in less than 3hrs posing possible localized incidents of flash flooding DISCUSSION...Surface analysis at 23z, shows a deepening sub-1000mb surface low between BYG and GCC in northeast WY bulging eastward along the western edge of the Black Hills before dropping south through the NEB panhandle toward secondary wave near TOR. Surface Tds of mid to upper 50s are wrapping around and through the Black Hills and trying to draw westward along and north of the bulge across SE MT. Full heating along/ahead of the wave and solid DPVA aloft from approaching upper-level trough within the eastern quadrant of the deep upper low over the Great Basin and the low level moisture is resulting in solid instability numbers, even to 1500 J/kg as far west as Big Horn county, MT. As such, convergence along the bulging dry line and easterly flow north of the low has lead to a cluster of strong severe thunderstorms across SE MT. While hail is main concern, there is ample moisture flux to support increasing rainfall production. Given proximity to a sharp 500-1000 thickness ridge and generally weaker steering flow in proximity to a sharp deep layer deformation zone across central to northeast MT, even though organization, cells will be slow moving allowing for .5"/hr rates to slowly increase toward 1"/hr rates in the coming hours as deep layer moisture flux increases Total Pwats from .75-1" to 1-1.25". Below average/early season FFG values are within reach for 1-1.5"/hr and 1-2"/3hrs across SE MT into the Black Hills of SD.=20 Eventually cold pools should generate and low level flow will veer in proximity to the dry line bulge and cell motions/propagation will become more easterly, still duration may allow for some spots of 1.5-2.5" totals though early overnight period across the area of concern and so isolated incidents of flash flooding are considered possible.
