Montana Moderate Special Weather Statement | Effective 09/25/2026 18:58

Gusty to strong westerly winds will continue over much of central and north-central Montana through this evening. The combination of the frontal passage with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will result in wind gusts of between 45 to 55 mph. These winds may cause more damage to trees and power lines than what is normally observed due to most trees being fully leafed out and some trees being weakened by previous storms. Additionally, any damaged tree branches may break loose and become projectiles. Pedestrians and those outdoors should watch for flying debris and avoid being near trees if possible during times of stronger winds. Also, those traveling along north to south oriented roadways should be prepared for strong cross winds.
