Thunderstorms capable of heavy rainfall are expected across western Montana and central Idaho today from 10 AM to 9 PM. The primary hazard will be slow-moving storms that repeatedly track over the same areas, which could quickly lead to localized flash flooding especially in urban areas, steep terrain, and near wildfire burn scars. Secondary threats include localized wind gusts up to 45 mph and small hail. Never drive through flooded roadways. If you encounter flooded roads, turn around, don't drown.
