    Areas affected...portions of eastern Montana

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

    Valid 122352Z - 130115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...An isolated severe wind/hail threat may persist across
    eastern MT over the next few hours with thunderstorm clusters. A WW
    issuance appears unlikely given the isolated nature of the more
    intense storms.

    DISCUSSION...A modest uptick in the severe threat has been noted
    across eastern Montana over the past hour, both with a supercell
    crossing the U.S. border from Saskatchewan, and with loosely
    organized convection near Billings, MT. Despite the presence of a CU
    field beneath the anvils of ongoing convection across eastern MT,
    buoyancy is scant given the presence of a dry boundary layer
    extending to nearly 500 mb (per latest RAP forecast soundings). More appreciable flow is confined well above 500 mb, contributing to bulk
    effective shear values at/below 30 kts. The overall mediocre
    CAPE/shear parameter space suggests that storms should remain
    isolated and loosely organized over the next couple of hours, with
    an isolated severe gust or hailstone possible with the ongoing
    storms given steep low and mid-level lapse rates. It is not entirely
    out of the question for storms in western MT to grow upscale and
    approach eastern MT with a severe gust threat, but the confidence in
    this scenario is low. As such, the expected sparse nature of the
    severe threat suggests that a WW issuance is not currently
    warranted.

    Mesoscale Discussion 1675
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1100 AM CDT Sat Jul 22 2023

    Areas affected...portions of southern MS/AL/GA and the FL Panhandle

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 221600Z - 221800Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms coverage/intensity is expected to increase
    over the next 1-2 hours. Strong gusts are possible with this
    activity. Trends will be monitored for possible watch issuance this
    afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Strong heating along/ahead of a quasi-stationary front
    and composite outflow boundary, stretching from far southern MS
    eastward to southwest GA, has allowed development of MLCAPE to
    2500-3500 J/kg. Towering cumulus along the surface boundary, as well
    as deepening cumulus into southwest GA and the FL Panhandle, has
    increased over the past 30-60 minutes as boundary layer inhibition
    has eroded. Bands/clusters of thunderstorms are expected to increase
    in coverage and intensity over the next couple of hours. This
    activity will remain on the southern fringes of stronger midlevel
    flow, but effective shear values around 25 kt will allow for some
    organization. If enough cold pool generation occurs within this very moist/unstable and modestly sheared environment, damaging wind
    potential could increase with any south/southeast propagating
    clusters. While the need for a severe thunderstorm watch does not
    appear imminent, trends will be monitored for possible watch
    issuance sometime this afternoon.
