    Areas affected...Southwest into southern/central MT vicinity

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

    Valid 051907Z - 052100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will increase in coverage and intensity
    through the afternoon while spreading from southwest Montana into
    central portions of the state through evening. Isolated strong wind
    gusts will be possible, though a watch is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...Strong heating into the 80s amid steep midlevel lapse
    rates is supporting weak destabilization early this afternoon across
    the higher terrain of southwest MT and vicinity. Isolated
    thunderstorms are developing over the higher terrain within 30-40 kt
    effective shear magnitudes, and coverage should increase as storms
    track toward the northeast. Fast-moving storms may pose a risk for
    strong winds through the afternoon, particularly given large temperature-dewpoint spread and steepening low-level lapse rates.
    However, instability will remain weak and limit greater organized
    severe potential.
