    Areas affected...Northeastern Wyoming southeastern Montana and
    western South Dakota

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 122024Z - 122200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong to severe storms, should develop this afternoon
    from the higher terrain near a quasi-stationary front. Evolving
    supercell structures will likely pose a risk for large to very large
    hail, strong damaging winds and perhaps a couple tornadoes. A
    weather watch is likely before 21z.

    DISCUSSION...Mid afternoon water vapor imagery showed an anomalously
    deep mid-level trough moving onshore across the Pacific Northwest
    and spreading eastward across the central Rockies. Height falls
    ahead of this feature are evident in the broad clouds/stratiform
    precipitation ongoing across eastern ID and western MT/WY roughly
    marking the position of an east-west oriented quasi stationary
    front. Over the last half hour lightning has emerged along the front
    across northern WY likely in response to strong diurnal heating and
    subsequent surface destabilization. As ascent from the approaching
    mid-level trough, weak upslope forcing, and surface
    heating/moistening along the front continue, remaining MLCINH should
    dissipate, resulting in vigorous thunderstorm development across
    southern MT and northern WY. 1500 J/kg of MLCAPE and 50+ kt of
    effective shear evident on VAD VWPs and the 19z UNR special sounding
    suggests supercells will be the dominate storm mode. Strong vertical
    shear and the degree of buoyancy/lapse rates suggest large to very
    large hail is possible along with damaging wind gusts. Already
    backed surface winds hint that low-level hodographs will likely
    enlarge through this evening in response to increasing ascent and
    strong east/northeasterly upslope flow. The large 0-2km storm
    relative winds and enhanced vorticity ingestion along the front
    suggest a few tornadoes will also be possible with the more discrete
    supercells able to develop. A weather watch is likely needed by 21z
    across portions of MT, SD and WY.

    Areas affected...western IA and eastern NE

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 326...

    Valid 172148Z - 172345Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 326
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe-weather threat continues in WW326 across
    western IA and eastern NE. Isolated damaging wind gusts and large
    hail are possible as storms continue to develop and strengthen this
    afternoon and evening.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered thunderstorms have developed in the last
    couple of hours across WW326 as a mid-level shortwave overspreads
    the region. Diurnal heating, warm/moist advection, and steep lapse
    rates currently support MLCAPE around 1000-1500 J/kg. Bulk shear has
    been more limited, around 25 kts per current VAD profiles. However,
    as the shortwave propagates east-northeastward, 30-40-kt mid-level
    flow (currently observed at KOAX) will yield gradually strengthening
    shear profiles. This should support stronger updraft cores with
    convection developing and maturing in this area over the next couple
    of hours. The main threats will be isolated damaging wind gusts up
    to 70 mph and large hail up to around 1.5". The risk for these
    hazards should peak in the next few hours before sunset and then
    decrease relatively quickly thereafter as the shortwave overruns any nocturnally diminishing surface instability.
