.KEY MESSAGES...
- Mostly dry today. Small chance of a strong to severe
thunderstorms over far south-eastern Montana this afternoon and
evening (1/5 risk from the Storm Prediction Center).
- Daily chances of showers and thunderstorms continue Friday into
next week. Best periods for potentially more widespread
precipitation are next Tuesday and Wednesday.
- Near normal temperatures (80s and 90s) expected into next week.

.DISCUSSION...
Through Friday Night...
Higher heights building into the region have allowed temperatures
to climb into the upper 70s and 80s early this afternoon. Weak
energy lifting into the region from the southwest has allowed a
few thunderstorms to develop over the southern Bighorn Mountains
and adjacent foothills. A few isolated thunderstorms are possible
this afternoon and evening, mainly over the Bighorns into far
southeast MT. A storm or two could be strong to severe with CAPE
values upwards of 1500 J/kg and deep layer shear of 25-40kts. The
main threats with any strong thunderstorm look to be hail and
strong winds, with heavy rain being a secondary threat. By late
this evening into tonight, a low level jet will then increase over
southeast MT. With elevated instability, this may allow for a few
showers and thunderstorms to linger into the overnight period in
southeast MT (10-20 percent chance).
Warmer conditions arrive for Friday with temperatures in the 80s
to middle 90s. By afternoon, a wave moving into the area through
southwest flow will bring another period of isolated to scattered
showers and thunderstorms (15-30 percent chance) during the
afternoon and evening. Most convection will be high-based, with
gusty winds possible, with the potential for a storm or two over
northeastern areas to be strong to severe where CAPE and shear are
a bit better. STP
Saturday through Thursday...
The long term forecast will feature a persistent pattern with 500
mb troughing over the Gulf of Alaska and high heights over the
southern CONUS. This will put Montana in southwest flow over the
period, a favorable pattern for severe weather. Persistent
southeasterly winds over the plains will keep above normal
moisture over the region. The ECMWF Ens is indicating PWAT values
of 100-150% of normal for much of the period. These conditions
will lead to persistent above normal instability as indicated by
the ECMWF EFI tables. These factors show that an active pattern is
likely. Long term convective outlooks agree with this active
assessment in indicating daily thunderstorm chances.
Temperatures are expected to be seasonal throughout the period
with temperatures in the high 80s to low 90s F. Torgerson

.AVIATION...
Updated Aviation Discussion...Isolated convection is expected
from Sheridan county northeast into Carter county, mainly through
04z this evening. Local MVFR visibility is possible near
precipitation cores with this activity along with wind gusts to
40kts. A southerly low level jet could bring additional isolated
showers, and possibly a thunderstorm, overnight into Friday
morning. An area of stratus may develop (30% chance) over Carter
and possibly into Fallon county in the early morning hours also
associated with the southerly low level winds, with MVFR ceilings.
Outside of the above, VFR conditions will prevail through the day
Friday. Chambers
