    Areas affected...Parts of eastern MT...northeast WY...southwest
    ND...northwest SD

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

    Valid 302021Z - 302245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong to severe storms are possible through late
    afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Occasionally strong storms are ongoing this afternoon
    across eastern MT, to the northeast of a negative-tilt mid/upper
    shortwave trough approaching the central/northern High Plains. This
    convection is ongoing within a weak to moderately unstable
    environment, with generally limited deep-layer shear. Storms in this
    area may tend to remain disorganized through the afternoon, though
    marginally severe hail and localized strong gusts cannot be ruled
    out in the near term.=20

    In the wake of this convection, diurnal heating is underway from
    northeast WY/southeast MT into northwest SD/southwest ND, where
    somewhat stronger instability will evolve by late afternoon. Renewed
    storm initiation will be possible with time, with the highest
    confidence in redevelopment near the Big Horns and northern parts of
    the Black Hills. Deep-layer shear will generally remain modest, but
    a few stronger multicells could develop, accompanied by an isolated
    hail threat. Increasingly prominent outflow may also lead to
    localized strong to severe gusts, especially if any stronger
    clusters or line segments evolve with time.
