Today will be another warm day, but thunderstorms will develop in the afternoon across southwest Montana. A couple of storms may turn severe with strong wind gusts. Highs will still reach the 80s in western Montana. The plains will have air temperatures reach the 90s.
A cold front begins to move into the state on Friday. More isolated severe storms are possible, but heavy rain will accompany these storms. Flash flooding will be a concern for a section of the Hi-Line, west of Havre.
This cold front significantly lowers temperatures heading into the first few days of summer. Highs will only reach the 50s and 60s, while lows drop into the 30s. Snow levels drop on Saturday night to between 5000 and 6000 feet. Rainy conditions will affect a lot of the lower-elevation locations.
A warming trend will begin next week with less storm activity.
