    Areas affected...southwestern Montana

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

    Valid 071908Z - 072215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Intensifying scattered thunderstorms developing within the
    next few hours may begin to consolidate with increasing potential to
    produce strong surface gusts by 4-6 PM MDT. Trends are being
    monitored for the possibility of a severe weather watch.

    DISCUSSION...An area of persistent convective development, generally
    rooted within weak large-scale ascent associated with lower/mid
    tropospheric warm advection, has been gradually spreading
    east-northeastward across southwestern Montana and adjacent portions
    of the northern Rockies. Additional deepening convective
    development is ongoing associated with areas of orographically
    forced lift, as latest objective analysis indicates considerable
    lingering inhibition for a gradually destabilizing boundary-layer.=20
    However, with continued boundary-layer warming in response to
    insolation, further erosion of inhibition may allow for intensifying boundary-layer based convection and increasing thunderstorm activity
    within the next couple of hours.

    In the presence of steepening lower/mid tropospheric lapse rates,
    mixed-layer CAPE around 1000+ J/kg, and modest deep-layer shear
    beneath 30-40 kt southwesterly flow in the 500-300 mb layer, initial
    storms may become capable of producing marginally severe hail and
    locally strong surface gusts. By 22-00Z, various model output has
    been suggestive that convection and associated cold pools may begin
    to consolidate into a better organized convective system with
    potential to produce increasingly widespread strong surface gusts,
    as it propagates northeast and east of the higher terrain of
    southwest Montana.

    Mesoscale Discussion 1410

    0348 PM CDT Mon Jul 03 2023

    Areas affected...portions of northeastern NE...southeastern
    SD...southwestern MN...and northwestern IA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 032048Z - 032245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are expected during the next few
    hours. Local wind gusts and small hail are possible. Watch issuance
    is not anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...Several thunderstorms have developed along a cold front
    draped from south-central MN west-southwestward along the SD/NE
    border. The front continues to slowly sag southward, with the
    environment along and ahead of it generally characterized by MLCAPE
    around 2000+ J/kg and effective shear around 15 kts. Current VAD and
    short-term forecast profiles depict modest low-level shear with
    little shear above the boundary layer. While the primary belt of
    mid-level flow resides farther north, sufficient boundary-layer
    mixing should support continued updraft development and maturation
    through the afternoon. Multicell/pulse evolution is expected given
    the overall meager kinematic environment. Steep mid-level lapse
    rates and relatively high cloud bases might support local gusty
    winds and small hail prior to a general weakening trend closer to
    sunset.
