Areas affected...portions of western Montana...central Idaho
Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely=20
Valid 181735Z - 181830Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent
SUMMARY...An increase in thunderstorm coverage and intensity is
expected this afternoon. Scattered severe thunderstorms are
expected, with a risk for large to very large hail and damaging wind
gusts. Trends are being monitored and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is
likely by 1830-20z.
DISCUSSION...Visible imagery and lightning detection data indicate
initial thunderstorm development is underway near the ID/MT border
west of Dillon, MT. Diurnal heating of a post-frontal air air mass characterized by surface dew points in the upper 40s/lower 50s,
combined with midlevel lapse rates in excess of 7.5 deg C/km, should
result in MLCAPE of 1000 to locally 1500 J/kg this afternoon. Strong low/midlevel southerly flow associated with an upper-level trough
will result in substantial deep-layer shear in excess of 50 kts.
Water vapor imagery reveals an impulse within the southerly flow
over southern/central ID that will lift north this afternoon,
contributing large-scale ascent across the discussion area.
Thunderstorms are expected to continue to increase in coverage this
afternoon, including supercell storm structures capable of large
hail and strong/damaging gusts. Significant severe hail (two inches
or greater) is also possible with any sustained supercell storm.
Convective trends will continue to be monitored and a watch is
likely prior to 1830-20z.
