   Areas affected...Parts of south-central/southeast MT into far
   northern WY

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 411...

   Valid 140123Z - 140300Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 411
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A threat for severe gusts, hail, and possibly a tornado
   will continue east-southeastward this evening.

   DISCUSSION...A small but intense supercell cluster has evolved east
   of Billings, where moderate buoyancy and strong deep-layer shear
   remain very supportive of organized convection. This cluster appears
   capable of producing a localized swath of severe gusts (potentially
   near/above 75 mph) as it moves east-southeastward this evening,
   along with large to very large hail (possibly wind-driven). A
   tornado also cannot be ruled out, given the presence of an embedded
   supercell structure and modestly favorable downstream low-level
   moisture and effective SRH. 

   Farther southwest, a supercell has recently intensified along the
   trailing outflow south of Billings, with additional storm
   development possible closer to the MT/WY border with time. These
   cells developing near or just behind the trailing outflow could also
   pose at least an isolated severe threat through the evening.
