    Areas affected...Eastern Montana/northeastern Wyoming and western
    Dakotas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 161...

    Valid 072316Z - 080115Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 161
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Risk for thunderstorms capable of producing severe hail
    and wind will continue to increase across the northern High Plains
    through early evening. An additional watch is possible across the
    remainder of eastern Montana/western North Dakota within the next
    hour or two.

    DISCUSSION...Vigorous thunderstorm development has been occurring
    across the Big Horn Basin, and particularly within low-level upslope
    flow to the north/northeast, with more widely scattered/discrete
    activity now well underway across the higher plains of eastern
    Wyoming. Initiation of storms may also be underway near the surface
    trough across eastern Montana, where boundary-layer CAPE is now
    maximized (2000-3000+ J/kg) with inhibition becoming negligible.

    Although deep-layer southwesterly mean flow is weak (on the order of
    10-20 kt), modest vertical shear due to veering of winds with height
    may contribute to increasing organization as convection intensifies
    further and slowly spreads eastward during the next few hours. This
    probably will be aided by south/southeasterly low-level jet
    strengthening near the western Dakotas/Montana border area during
    the 01-03Z time frame. As this occurs, and convectively generated
    surface cold pools strengthen and consolidate, the risk for strong
    surface gusts may become more widespread along a developing gust
    front. Until then, severe hail and locally strong wind gusts likely
    will accompany strongest storms.
