Areas affected...eastern Montana and far western North Dakota
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 020119Z - 020245Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Developing thunderstorms across the region will pose a
threat for strong, gusty thunderstorm winds capable of producing
isolated damage. A watch is not expected given the isolated nature
of the threat.
DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are developing across eastern Montana
this evening in association with modest large-scale ascent
associated with a strong mid-upper-level cyclone across the
Montana/Canada border. Additionally, an 80-knot upper-level jet
streak is nosing across the area.
Modest instability (MUCAPE around 1000 J/kg or less) and strong
deep-layer shear on the order of 50 knots will support strong, gusty
thunderstorm winds given the overall strength of the flow. The
threat should diminish later this evening as the storms move into an
increasingly stable environment.
A watch is not anticipated given the isolated nature of any severe
potential.
