Mesoscale Discussion 1389
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0658 PM CDT Sun Jun 23 2024
Areas affected...parts of northeastern Montana
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 232358Z - 240230Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated supercell development appears possible near and
north of the Missouri River through 8-11 PM MDT. It is not clear
that a severe weather watch will be needed due to localized nature
of the threat, but trends will continue to be monitored.
DISCUSSION...At least attempts at sustained deep convective
development appear underway west of Glasgow MT. This appears near
the southern edge of the onset of mid-level height falls associated
with an upstream short wave trough progressing across the Canadian
and adjacent northern U.S. Rockies. At lower levels this is focused
near/east of a weak surface low embedded within lee surface
troughing, aided by lift associated with low-level convergence and
warm advection. Near the northern periphery of a plume of very warm
elevated mixed-layer air advecting northeast of the northern
Rockies, the approach of convective temperatures may also be a
contributing factor.
Based on various model output, this convective development may be
maintained into and through the 02-05Z time frame, though it may
remain isolated in nature to the south of the Saskatchewan border.
In the presence of strong deep-layer shear, beneath 50+ kt westerly
flow in the 500-300 mb layer, the environment is supportive of an
evolving supercell. A hot and deeply mixed boundary-layer appears
characterized by CAPE in excess of 1000 J/kg, sufficient to support
a risk for large hail and locally severe wind gusts.
