Areas affected...North-central into eastern MT

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

Valid 012225Z - 020030Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated hail and strong to severe gusts are possible into
the early evening.

DISCUSSION...Scattered storms have developed late this afternoon
across parts of MT, in advance of a mid/upper-level shortwave trough
(with multiple embedded vorticity maxima) approaching the northern
Rockies. Moderate buoyancy will result in occasionally vigorous
updrafts, especially near a weak surface boundary across central MT,
where MLCAPE has increased above 2000 J/kg per recent mesoanalyses.
Deep-layer flow is relatively weak across the region, but some
veering with height is supporting effective shear of 20-25 kt, and a
few stronger multicells and clusters may evolve with time. Hail and
strong to severe gusts could accompany the strongest storms, though
the lack of stronger deep-layer shear is expected to keep the threat
rather isolated into early evening.
