    Mesoscale Discussion 0950

    0819 PM CDT Mon Jun 01 2026

    Areas affected...eastern Montana and far western North Dakota

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

    Valid 020119Z - 020245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Developing thunderstorms across the region will pose a
    threat for strong, gusty thunderstorm winds capable of producing
    isolated damage. A watch is not expected given the isolated nature
    of the threat.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are developing across eastern Montana
    this evening in association with modest large-scale ascent
    associated with a strong mid-upper-level cyclone across the
    Montana/Canada border. Additionally, an 80-knot upper-level jet
    streak is nosing across the area.=20

    Modest instability (MUCAPE around 1000 J/kg or less) and strong
    deep-layer shear on the order of 50 knots will support strong, gusty thunderstorm winds given the overall strength of the flow. The
    threat should diminish later this evening as the storms move into an increasingly stable environment.=20

    A watch is not anticipated given the isolated nature of any severe
    potential.
