Valid 270242Z - 270415Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 545 continues. SUMMARY...A localized corridor of significant (70-85 mph) winds may be emerging across northeast Montana for the next hour or so. DISCUSSION...KGGW velocity imagery shows a localized surge in a maturing MCS that is the result of a recent squall-line/supercell merger. This merger is likely the initiating mechanism for a somewhat prolonged (1-2 hour) surge of severe - to potentially significant - wind gusts downstream across northeast MT. Recent observations from the 00 UTC GGW sounding and the KGGW VWP show very steep mid-level lapse rates and favorable deep-layer wind shear for MCS maintenance, including very strong 0-3 km BWD values on the order of 40 knots. Consequently, given this environment and the recent convective trends, the potential for wind gusts as high as 70-85 mph appears to be increasing. ...Moore.. 07/27/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7WpjoNjbHO81uYgrDlmP4A8fy9VdHhQohkSp66vSd5DEqWHCCtI6mXplJgLBO-ofI-1msM-X_= 0aintAMWaWARb6s69E$ for graphic product...
