   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 398...400...

   Valid 270113Z - 270315Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 398, 400
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Strong to severe wind gusts may become more prominent with
   growing thunderstorm clusters overspreading the region, before
   activity begins to weaken by 9-10 PM MDT.

   DISCUSSION...Moisture return into the vicinity of the deepening
   surface troughing to the lee of the Rockies has been modest, but
   sufficient to support a narrow corridor of CAPE on the order of
   1000-2000 J/kg, in the presence of steep lapse rates.   Largest
   potential instability remains focused south-southeast of the Black
   Hills, with strengthening outflow associated with upscale growing
   convection likely to progress through much of the instability axis
   by 03-04Z.  Until then, the risk for severe hail will probably
   persist in stronger cells another hour or two, before more
   widespread strong to severe gusts becomes more prominent.
