Severe Thunderstorm Watch



National Weather Force has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch effective now through 11pm MDT for the following zones;

Issued Zones:  MONTANA – Central, North, East, Southeast, South … WYOMING – North, Northeast …

Date Issued: June 13th, 2025 at 11:35am MDT

Discussion:  A shortwave trough will move across the Pacific Northwest today, out of Oregon and Washington.  The upper lift associated with it will work with strong instability, bringing rapid severe thunderstorm development.  Storm motion will be to the east with time.  Some low-level shear is in the area for low level rotation, that can lead to the chance of a tornado.  Main concerns will be large hail and damaging winds,, with short term flooding in the strongest cells.  The cells will weaken near the midnight hour and the watch will end.
