There is a risk of strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening over portions of Montana. Strong wind gusts are the primary threat. Any thunderstorm is capable of producing small hail.
Confidence is increasing for a weather pattern that supports hot temperatures by next weekend. The 6-10 day temperature outlook shows a 60-80% chance of above normal temperatures in our region from July 11 to 15. Triple digit heat is possible.
Don’t wait until heat arrives to begin protecting yourself. If the forecast calls for extreme heat, begin preparing NOW. https://www.weather.gov/safety/heat
