    Mesoscale Discussion 0576
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0248 PM CDT Wed May 30 2018

    Areas affected...Southeastern Idaho...southwestern Montana and
    adjacent northwest Wyoming

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 301948Z - 302145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Widely scattered strong thunderstorms, perhaps an isolated
    supercell or two, appear increasingly possible through 5-6 PM MDT.
    Severe weather potential is expected to remain marginal/isolated
    enough that a watch is not currently anticipated, but trends will
    continue to be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Large-scale mid/upper support for convective
    development remains unclear. However, thunderstorm activity is in
    the process of increasing in response to sufficient diurnal boundary
    layer destabilization and orographic forcing across the Bitterroot
    Mountains vicinity, and along the higher terrain east through south
    of the upper Snake Valley. CAPE appears generally weak, which may
    remain a limiting factor to a more substantive severe weather
    threat, but lower/mid tropospheric lapse rates are becoming at least
    modestly steep. Although this is generally south of a belt of 50 kt southwesterly 500 mb crossing central Idaho and western Montana, in
    the wake of a significant short wave trough shifting northeastward
    through Alberta, vertical shear is probably favorable for convection
    with some severe wind/hail in areas where instability becomes
    locally maximized late this afternoon. An isolated supercell may
    not be out of the question, with activity tending to develop
    northeastward across the mountains of southwest Montana and
    northeast Wyoming through late afternoon.
