ISSUED AT 149 PM CDT FRI JUN 19 2015

SEVERE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING HIGHLIGHTS
THE SHORT TERM FORECAST.

AS OF 1850 UTC...CUMULUS FIELDS ACROSS EASTERN MONTANA ARE
CONTINUING TO GROW VERTICALLY WITH A FEW STORMS ALREADY ONGOING
ACROSS NORTHEAST MONTANA INTO SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN. THE 15-17 UTC
HRRR AND 12 UTC GLOBAL AND CONVECTIVE ALLOWING DETERMINISTIC
SUITES DEPICT CONTINUED STRENGTHENING AND COVERAGE OF CONVECTION
ACROSS EASTERN MONTANA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH CONTINUED
DESTABILIZATION AND MULTIPLE IMPULSES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE FAST
WESTERLIES ALOFT. 21-22 UTC STILL LOOKS TO BE A REASONABLE
ESTIMATE FOR CONVECTION TO FORM ACROSS OR MOVE INTO FAR WESTERN
NORTH DAKOTA. STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD INTO CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA AROUND 00-02 UTC THIS EVENING. 2000-2500 J/KG OF ML CAPE
AND STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 40-50 KTS SUPPORTS SUPERCELLS WITH
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREATS. WHILE LOW LEVEL
SHEAR IS WEAK AND LCLS A BIT HIGH...CERTAINLY CANNOT RULE OUT A
TORNADO OR TWO GIVEN DISCRETE SUPERCELLS TO BEGIN THE EVENT.
CONGEALING OF STORMS INTO A POSSIBLE MCS IS STILL FAVORED LATE
THIS EVENING ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA INTO SOUTH CENTRAL
NORTH DAKOTA. SEE SPC MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1072 FOR FURTHER
DETAILS.

CONTINUED MULTIPLE IMPULSES IN QUASI-ZONAL FLOW ALOFT CONTINUE
THE THREAT FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS CENTRAL ON SATURDAY.
A FEW MAY BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH RESIDUAL UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S
DEWPOINTS IN PLACE.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 149 PM CDT FRI JUN 19 2015

A CONTINUATION OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS MIGRATING THROUGH A QUASI-ZONAL
FLOW PRODUCING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS THE THEME.
SUNDAY WILL FEATURE A SHORTWAVE TROUGH SLIDING ACROSS NORTHERN NORTH
DAKOTA/SOUTHERN CANADA ACCOMPANIED BY A 90KT JETSTREAK. THE ECMWF
ADVERTISES A 120KT JET AND IS SLIGHTLY FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE GFS.
THUS ENHANCED LIFT VIA THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE JET
RESULTING IN THE HIGHEST POPS/LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL ACROSS THE
NORTHCENTRAL...WITH A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ELSEWHERE. SOME
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM. POSSIBLY A
BREAK ON MONDAY AS A TRANSITORY SHORTWAVE RIDGE SLIDES THROUGH.
THEREAFTER...EXPECT SHORTWAVE TROUGHS EVERY 24HR TO 36HR PROMOTING
CHANCES OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 309 PM CDT FRI JUN 19 2015

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INITIATING AFTER 20Z FRIDAY IN WESTERN NORTH
DAKOTA AND AROUND 00Z SATURDAY IN CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA...IS THE MAIN
HAZARD FOR THE TERMINALS. STRONG WINDS...HAIL...AND HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS. ENOUGH CONFIDENCE AT THIS TIME TO
MENTION HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTS TO 45KT AT KDIK/KBIS/KJMS
LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY EVENING. KISN/KMOT REMAINS MORE
UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME FOR HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS AND HAVE DECIDED TO
MENTION MODERATE AT KISN AND VCTS AT KMOT. SEVERE WEATHER WILL
