Strong thunderstorms with lightning and hail have been moving through Montana this afternoon and evening. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH has been issued for multiple locations in Montana, including the following counties: Broadwater, Jefferson, Madison, Fergus, Judith Basin, Meagher, and Gallatin. A FLOOD WATCH continues for central Montana, due to all of the additional rainfall we have received and will continue to receive tonight. FLOOD WARNINGS continue for many rivers in Montana, including the Missouri River near Toston and Landusky, the Big Hole River, and the Jefferson River near Three Forks.

As of now, the highest potential for severe weather is concentrated in central and eastern Montana, although more rain will continue for southwestern and central parts of the state through the night. Rain will continue tomorrow morning, but things will clear up by Friday night, leading us into a beautiful first weekend of June.
