Areas affected...Southeast Montana

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 487...

Valid 052014Z - 052215Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 487
continues.

SUMMARY...The potential for severe winds is increasing across
southeast Montana downstream of an organized MCS.

DISCUSSION...Over the past 1-2 hours, a cluster of thunderstorms has
grown upscale into an organized MCS with a history of producing
severe winds (a 55 knot gust was recently noted at KBIL/Billings,
MT). Ahead of the MCS, temperatures continue to warm into the upper
70s and low 80s within a diffuse baroclinic zone extending from
southeast MT to the southeast into the Black Hills region. Winds
within this baroclinic zone are slowly veering to the southeast,
resulting in a modest increase in low-level moisture transport
immediately downstream of the approaching squall line. Consequently,
buoyancy values have begun to increase across southeast MT with
recent RAP/mesoanalysis estimates showing MLCAPE values of around
1000 J/kg. The recent development of shallow cumulus within this
region supports this idea of increasing moisture content/buoyancy
ahead of the squall line. As such, the expectation is that this line
may see further intensification in the coming hours, and will
continue to pose a severe wind threat downstream with localized
gusts upwards of 60-80 mph possible. With time, a rightward turn to
the southeast is possible as the line approaches the eastern MT
border and storm propagation becomes increasingly influenced by the
diffuse baroclinic zone.
