    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN PARTS OF
    NORTHEAST WY/SOUTHEAST MT/WESTERN SD...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe gusts to 65 mph are possible from the Big Horns to
    the Black Hills during the late afternoon to mid-evening Saturday.

    ...Big Horns to the Black Hills...
    A shortwave trough over WA/southern BC at 12Z Saturday will progress
    across the northern Rockies and MT. Mid-level height falls will
    overspread the northern High Plains during peak diurnal heating.
    Despite only scant buoyancy, the strengthening large-scale ascent
    will support scattered thunderstorms by late afternoon. With a belt
    of strong mid-level west-southwesterlies, a couple low-topped,
    high-based supercells are possible. Deeply mixed thermodynamic
    profiles to the east-southeast of the Big Horns should foster a
    threat for strong to localized 50-55 kt gusts before convection
    wanes after sunset.

    ...Mid-MO Valley to the Upper Midwest...
    As the low-level jet strengthens across the southern to central
    Great Plains Saturday night, sufficient ascent may support isolated thunderstorms overnight. But with poor-quality moisture return
    relative to the stout EML, it is uncertain if/where convection will
    be sustained. Uninhibited parcels may be rather elevated and with
    the expectation of weak buoyancy at most, severe hail potential
    appears limited.
