Severe Thunderstorm Threat Returns to Montana This Evening

Montana faces a renewed threat of severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, with weather conditions evolving across the state. Forecasts indicate widespread showers and thunderstorms from 2 PM through midnight, originating from the southwest and progressing into northern and eastern regions. The risk of isolated to scattered intense storms remains, with damaging winds being the primary concern. Heavy rainfall, hail, and frequent lightning are also possible, so residents should stay vigilant and monitor local weather alerts. Following this active period, drier weather is expected during midweek, before a new Pacific low-pressure system brings additional scattered storms, gusty winds, and cooler temperatures later in the week. Temperatures will generally remain in the 80s and 90s through Thursday, before dropping to the upper 60s and 70s into the weekend.
