At 450 PM, scattered showers and thunderstorms were moving eastward across the Rocky Mountain Front, and across Southwest MT. The storms were generally moving northeast at 15 mph. The main impact from the storms early this evening will be brief heavy rainfall and occasional lightning strikes. Some small hail is also possible from a stronger storm. Those with outdoor plans this evening should be alert for the potential thunderstorm activity. Reminder, lighting can strike up to 10 miles away from a storm, so if you see lightning or hear thunder, go inside until the storm passes. $$ Brusda
