   Day 1 Convective Outlook

   Valid 192000Z - 201200Z

   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST
   MT AND WESTERN ND...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A couple long-tracked supercells, potentially producing significant
   severe hail and wind, will most likely occur centered on southeast
   Montana into western North Dakota through this evening.

   ...20z Update...

   Only minor adjustments have been made to the ongoing outlook with
   the 20z update. Marginal probabilities have been removed from much
   of UT as storms have shift north/northeast and instability is
   diminishing. Otherwise, only some minor changes to the 10 percent
   general thunderstorm line have been made across the central Gulf
   Coast and FL vicinity. 

   The airmass across eastern MT into western ND continues to recover
   after morning convection. Instability is increasing and inhibition
   weakening. Severe storms are still expected through this evening.
   Thunderstorm clusters across FL are drifting south/southwest across
   portions of the Peninsula. This activity will continue to pose a
   threat for isolated strong/locally damaging gusts the next few
   hours. For additional details in short term severe potential,
   reference MCDs 1224 and 1225.

   ...Southeast MT/northeast WY/western ND...
   Basal shortwave impulse embedded within the amplified western
   mid-upper trough should eject from the Great Basin north-northeast
   towards the northern Rockies. Large-scale ascent tied to this wave
   has supported scattered thunderstorms ongoing from eastern UT into
   western WY, and will reach the Big Horns later this afternoon.
   Primary severe potential will emanate out of this latter development
   as post-frontal low-level upslope flow persists and cloud breaks aid
   in weak surface-based buoyancy. 12Z guidance does differ appreciably
   with the degree of destabilization, as well as the degree of
   effective bulk shear with the NAM appearing less environmentally
   favorable than the RAP. Ongoing cloud coverage and lack of wind
   profiler data in the genesis corridor for supercells further lowers
   confidence. Nevertheless, ARW-based HREF guidance remains insistent
   on simulating at least a couple long-track supercells spreading
   northeast off the Big Horns. MLCAPE in western ND will be
   comparatively larger in this portion of the post-frontal regime
   owing to 60s surface dew points west of the surface cyclone drifting
   east into central ND. This suggests that any established supercells
   should be sustained into western ND before eventually becoming
   undercut with time later tonight as the front accelerates southeast.
   Significant severe hail and wind still appears possible.
    
   ...Eastern Great Basin to western/central SD...
   Eastward progress of the Great Basin trough will bring stronger
   mid-level flow farther east compared to previous days. Despite
   widespread clouds to slow surface heating over most of the Rockies,
   long/straight hodographs could support some organized storm
   structures within the monsoonal moisture plume from the Four Corners
   Area north into WY. A few strong-severe outflow gusts and isolated
   marginally severe hail are the main hazards.

   Farther northeast into central SD, mid-level flow will be weaker,
   but greater boundary-layer heating and much deeper inverted-v
   profiles will favor a few strong-severe outflow gusts with
   high-based storm clusters late this afternoon into the evening along
   a surface trough.

   ...FL Peninsula...
   Another day of largely diurnal convection is expected, with
   scattered thunderstorm development focused by a weak surface front
   drifting south in north FL, and sea breeze circulations farther
   south. Weak northeasterly mid-level flow suggests that pulse to
   loosely organized multicell clusters will spread southwestward this
   afternoon. Slightly weaker mid-level lapse rates relative to
   yesterday should hold MLCAPE to around 2500-3000 J/kg. Localized
   damaging winds from wet microbursts and small to marginally severe
   hail will be possible.
