Probability of 1" Precip this Weekend

Active weather continues through the week, including potential for severe thunderstorms beginning Thursday. Make sure to monitor the forecast if you have outdoor or travel plans.

There is a risk of strong to severe thunderstorms Thursday afternoon and evening over portions of southeast MT and northeast WY. Large hail, strong wind gusts and very heavy rainfall rates are the primary threats.

A strong weather system is expected to move into the region by late Friday and impact the weather through the weekend and possibly into early next week. This system has the potential to produce frequent showers and embedded thunderstorms for multiple days, strong winds in some locations, and even mountain snowfall (Beartooth Highway impacts possible). Severe thunderstorms are possible Friday and Saturday. Still plenty of uncertainty with how this system will play out. Stay tuned to the forecast, especially if you have outdoor or travel plans late this week into the weekend.

Although the most widespread and heaviest precipitation is expected to occur west of our forecast area, there is a risk of heavy rain with showers and thunderstorms over the weekend. The map shows probabilities for an inch of precipitation. Monitor the forecast!
