From The K-B-L-G News Center...

ISOLATED-TO-SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE BEARTOOTH AND ABSAROKA MOUNTAINS AGAIN TODAY AND MOVE NORTHEAST INTO THE PLAINS. 

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAYS THAT SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY PRODUCE STRONG WIND GUSTS TO 50 MILES-AN-HOUR, AND HAIL IS POSSIBLE.  THE BEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE OVER AREAS BETWEEN BILLINGS AND LIVINGSTON, AND UP TO JUDITH GAP. 

THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN DEVELOP WEST OF BILLINGS TOMORROW, AND MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE NEARBY PLAINS.  SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE STRONG WIND GUSTS AND HAIL. 

IN ADDITION, ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE REGION NEAR THE DAKOTA BORDERS.  A FEW OF THOSE STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL. 

BY THE WEEKEND, A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS MONTANA, PRODUCING VERY UNSETTLED WEATHER CONDITIONS.  TEMPERATURES 15-TO-25  DEGREES BELOW NORMAL ARE EXPECTED, ALONG WITH AREAS OF RAIN AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. 

PEOPLE WITH OUTDOOR INTERESTS OR TRAVEL PLANS SHOULD CHECK THE LATEST FORECASTS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, AS UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE BILLINGS REGION.
