   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST
   MONTANA AND NORTHEAST WYOMING AND NEARBY AREAS...

   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
   NEW MEXICO NORTH-NORTHEAST ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO INTO SOUTHWEST
   NEBRASKA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Risk for isolated strong storms capable of marginally severe hail
   and wind will continue for a few more hours across the northeast
   Wyoming/southeast Montana vicinity this afternoon and evening. 
   Isolated damaging gusts will also remain possible for a couple more
   hours with a couple of the stronger cells over parts of the High
   Plains.

   ...Southeast Montana/northeast Wyoming and adjacent western South
   Dakota...
   A very loosely organized north-northwest to south-southeast band of
   showers and scattered thunderstorms continues shifting east across
   south-central Montana and the northeast half of Wyoming at this
   time.  More isolated cells are occurring as far east as the Black
   Hills, all within broadly cyclonic/diffluent flow surrounding the
   southern California upper low.  Storms should gradually decrease in
   intensity over the next several hours as the boundary layer cools. 
   However, potential for strong/gusty winds and possibly a marginally
   severe hailstone or two may linger into the mid- to late-evening
   hours.

   ...Northeast New Mexico and eastern Colorado into far southwest
   Nebraska...
   Showers and scattered thunderstorms continue to spread/develop
   eastward across eastern Colorado and portions of southwest Nebraska
   early this evening, along and ahead of ill-defined outflow.  Other
   storms are moving northward across northeast New Mexico.  While
   evening soundings suggest rather rapid airmass stabilization will
   occur as the boundary layer cools into the evening hours, locally
   gusty winds will remain possible with stronger cells for perhaps the
   next 1-3 hours.
