Areas affected...portions of central into eastern Montana
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 488...
Valid 150220Z - 150315Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 488
continues.
SUMMARY...Severe gusts will continue with multicellular convection
over the next few hours, especially if upscale growth continues. 75+
mph gusts will be possible near the strongest storm cores.
DISCUSSION...Supercells have begun to merge over the past hour or
so, resulting in multiple severe gusts, including a measured 86 mph
per the KMVH AWOS. These storms continue to propagate eastward atop
a well-mixed boundary layer, where ample evaporative cooling
potential exists (i.e. 85-95 F surface temperatures and 1500+ J/kg
DCAPE per 02Z mesoanalysis). Therefore, severe gusts will remain a
concern for at least a few more hours, especially if ongoing storms
can grow upscale further into a better defined MCS. Given the degree
of evaporative cooling potential, 75+ mph gusts are still possible,
particularly with the stronger storm cores.
