Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Glasgow MT
1015 AM MDT Thu Jul 8 2021

.DISCUSSION...

In preparation for expected severe thunderstorms this afternoon
and evening, I made some updates and adjustments to the forecast.
SPC has upgraded our eastern zones with an enhanced risk area and
5 percent tornado area. Some isolated thunderstorms are already
setting off over areas associated with the surface low pressure
trough. I chose to increase PoPs to 100 percent for areas most
likely to see precipitation today. Time frame for greatest impact
seems to be between 2 PM and 9 PM. We will likely transition into
severe weather operations early this afternoon.

Previous discussion: Area thunderstorms are lurking just north of
the Canadian border near Daniels and Sheridan Counties early this
morning. This will bring to attention the main concern for today
with severe weather potential across portions of NE Montana. The
best timing will be from 2-8PM today, with large hail and damaging
winds a possibility based on convective parameters, though
ensembles suggest locally heavy rainfall may also be possible,
particular in the northeast.

Warm, dry, and breezy conditions may elevate fire weather concerns
in the southwest, but winds may not be high enough for critical
fire weather conditions. It also should be stated clearly that
fire starts are possible from any lightning that occurs with
thunderstorms.

Scattered storms will again be possible on Friday before upper
ridging leads to drier and notably hotter weather conditions by
the weekend. On Sunday, high temperatures will be well into the
90s for most of the CWA, and may approach 100 degrees for some.

&&

.AVIATION...

PATTERN: The atmosphere is primed for severe thunderstorms with a
surface low pressure trough, significant moisture, and a favorable
wind field. Expect thunderstorms coverage and intensity to
strengthen this afternoon and evening, especially east of MT-
Highway 24.

FLIGHT CONDITIONS: Mainly VFR, then briefly LIFR for NE MT TAF
sites if a thunderstorm happens to pass directly overhead.
Amendments may be needed.

WINDS: Light and variable early, then erratic and gusty this
afternoon and evening near the stronger storms. After about 03Z,
becoming light and variable again.
