   Areas affected...Parts of eastern Montana

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 199...201...

   Valid 132347Z - 140115Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 199, 201
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The risk of severe gusts (some upwards of 75 mph) will
   continue spreading eastward into eastern Montana -- within WW201.

   DISCUSSION...High-based thunderstorms moving eastward into eastern
   MT have evolved into a loosely organized squall line along a
   north/south-oriented surface trough/confluence zone. This band of
   storms will continue spreading eastward in tandem with the leading
   edge of midlevel height falls accompanying a robust midlevel trough.
   Around 40 kt of midlevel west-southwesterly flow oriented
   perpendicular to the leading gust front and a hot/dry pre-convective
   boundary layer will favor a continued risk of severe wind gusts
   (some possibly up to 75 mph) with eastward extent (within WW201).
