Areas affected...portions of central and eastern Montana

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

Valid 142304Z - 150030Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Large, perhaps significant, hail and severe gusts will be
the primary threats from convection developing across central and
eastern Montana. A watch may be needed.

DISCUSSION...Convection is beginning to develop along the high
terrain in south central Montana with moist upslope
(east-northeasterly) surface flow and underneath the southern
periphery of a west-southwesterly mid- and upper-level jet. This
configuration has resulted in seasonably strong deep layer shear
(generally 40-50 kts effective bulk shear) with straight hodographs
per mesoanalysis. These factors when combined with a low freezing
level suggest large hail, perhaps significant severe hail, as a
primary threat, at least early on. With time, storms may cluster
with merging cold pools, and this would transition to a severe gust
threat. However, boundary layer RH is relatively high, and overall
flow is not appreciably strong, so this may limit the gust potential
from these storms. Additionally, some lingering inhibition is
present across south-central Montana associated with cirrus across
the region. This may reduce the number of storms, which would delay
the storm clustering and prolong the hail threat into the evening.
