Expected
Effective:
May 28, 2026 - 5:46pm
Expires:
May 28, 2026 - 8:00pm
Description:
Scattered thunderstorms are on-going across the Hi- Line,
generally west of Havre, and across portions of Central Montana
this evening. While most thunderstorms have been of the garden
variety, producing frequent lightning and periods of heavy rain, a
few have become strong and produced wind gusts of between 40 to
50 mph, small hail up to dime size, and torrential rain.
This trend is expected to continue through the remainder of the
evening, with the primary concern being focused on the torrential
rainfall given the thunderstorms slow motion. Those with outdoor
plans should keep an eye to the sky and seek shelter should
thunderstorms approach.
Area Description:
East Glacier Park Region; Northern High Plains; Eastern Glacier, Western Toole, and Central Pondera; Eastern Toole and Liberty; Western and Central Chouteau County; Judith Basin County and Judith Gap; Little Belt and Highwood Mountains
