    Severe Thunderstorm Watch #0408

    Locations Affected

  • Northeast Montana
  • Severe Thunderstorm Watch Summary

    Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop across northeast Montana this afternoon and evening. A more cellular mode is possible early in the convective cycle, but strong southerly shear suggests storms will likely become linear quickly. Large to very large hail is the primary hazards as storms are more cellular while strong wind gusts (up to 80+ mph) are the primary hazard as storms become linear. A low-probability tornado hazard will exist this afternoon and evening as well.

    Severe Weather Threats

  • Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 80 mph likely
  • Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter likely
