Areas affected...Northeast Montana

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 545...

Valid 270242Z - 270415Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 545
continues.

SUMMARY...A localized corridor of significant (70-85 mph) winds may
be emerging across northeast Montana for the next hour or so.

DISCUSSION...KGGW velocity imagery shows a localized surge in a
maturing MCS that is the result of a recent squall-line/supercell
merger. This merger is likely the initiating mechanism for a
somewhat prolonged (1-2 hour) surge of severe - to potentially
significant - wind gusts downstream across northeast MT. Recent
observations from the 00 UTC GGW sounding and the KGGW VWP show very
steep mid-level lapse rates and favorable deep-layer wind shear for
MCS maintenance, including very strong 0-3 km BWD values on the
order of 40 knots. Consequently, given this environment and the
recent convective trends, the potential for wind gusts as high as
70-85 mph appears to be increasing.
