Areas affected...eastern Montana southeastward to central South
Dakota...and into western North Dakota

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 642...643...

Valid 220153Z - 220400Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 642, 643
continues.

SUMMARY...Severe risk -- including potential for large hail and
damaging gusts -- continues across the northern High Plains
vicinity.

DISCUSSION...Latest radar co*posite loop across the northern High
Plains region shows clusters of strong/severe storms moving
east-northeastward, within a favorably unstable/sheared environment.
 While hail and damaging gusts are possible with any of the stronger
storms, convection appears to be evolving into a semi-organized band
across northeastern Montana.  This cluster bears watching, as
continued organization/intensification could result in the storms
beco*ing sufficiently long-lived to bring risk for severe weather
east of WW 643 into western North Dakota over the next couple of
hours.  This could require downstream WW consideration.
