DISCUSSION...Deepening cumulus is observed in visible satellite across the high terrain in central Montana. MLCIN remains in place across much of central/western Montana but insolation under mostly sunny skies should erode this over the next couple of hours. MLCAPE around 1000 J/kg and deep layer shear around 30-40 kts will support supercell modes initially. Linear hodographs will support potential for splitting cells capable of large to very large hail and damaging wind. Some clustering and building along outflow is likely by the late afternoon, with potential for increase in the damaging wind threat. A watch will likely be needed to cover this severe potential in the next couple of hours. ...Thornton/Thompson.. 07/28/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-G_pI17ZtUPRRrrBOKrIqbhLQqKJLLXSSKUPZLMx_tT4rqVKk8RkRFkygAozUa1LmksJbj3Xf= MElHR1y_CWkW5H2I3w$ for graphic product...
