AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHEASTERN MT...NORTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA AND
WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 285...
VALID 072312Z - 080045Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 285
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...SUPERCELLS OVER SOUTHEASTERN MT ARE SHOWING INITIAL SIGNS
OF UPSCALE GROWTH. AN ORGANIZED CLUSTER OR BOW MAY RESULT. THE
ENVIRONMENT IS FAVORABLE FOR A SIGNIFICANT DAMAGING WIND RISK (GUSTS
GREATER THAN 75 MPH) WHICH MAY BEGIN IN THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS.
DISCUSSION...ACROSS PDS SVR WATCH #285, INITIAL SUPERCELL CLUSTERS
HAVE REMAINED SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL, BUT HAVE SHOWN SIGNS OF
CONSOLIDATION. THE ENVIRONMENT REMAINS STRONGLY UNSTABLE AND SHEARED
WITH MLCAPE IN EXCESS OF 2500 J/KG AND 45-55 KT OF DEEP-LAYER SHEAR
SUPPORTING ORGANIZED AND INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS. T/TD SPREADS AS
HIGHS 40 DEGREES F WILL FAVOR STRONG DOWNDRAFTS WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE OUTFLOW WINDS. THIS, COMBINED WITH ENHANCED CONVERGENCE
NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL FAVOR NUMEROUS STORM INTERACTIONS AND
THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW UPDRAFTS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE ONGOING
STORMS.
EXACT CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION REMAINS SOMEWHAT UNCLEAR, BUT INITIAL
UPSCALE GROWTH IS LIKELY OCCURRING. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY THE CHANGE
IN RADAR PRESENTATION OF THE STORMS OVER SOUTHERN CUSTER COUNTY IN
MT, WITH MULTIPLE STRONG UPDRAFTS OBSERVED AND LENGTHENING STORM
MOTION VECTORS. IF A SUFFICIENT COLD POOL CAN ORGANIZE, A HIGHLY
ORGANIZED CLUSTER OR BOWING COMPLEX MAY RESULT. GIVEN THE VERY
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT, THIS WOULD SUPPORT A SIGNIFICANT DAMAGING
WIND RISK WITH GUSTS GREATER THAN 75 MPH. CAM TRENDS ALONG WITH THE
AFOREMENTIONED OBSERVATIONAL DATA SUGGEST THIS IS LIKELY IN THE NEXT
30-90 MINUTES.
