URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 476
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
615 PM MDT Mon Jul 1 2019

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
  Eastern Montana
  Extreme northwestern North Dakota

* Effective this Monday night from 615 PM until Midnight MDT.

* Primary threats include...
  Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
  Scattered large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible

SUMMARY...Scattered severe storms in Montana, some with supercell
structure, should persist for a few more hours while continuing to
move generally eastward.  Large hail will be the primary threat with
these more discrete storms.  There is still some potential for
upscale growth with storm mergers across northeastern Montana, which
would result in an increase in the damaging wind threat.

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 70
statute miles east and west of a line from 70 miles north northeast
of Wolf Point MT to 20 miles west southwest of Broadus MT. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6).

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
tornadoes.
