    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.
