2024-09-20 · near (hvr)havre City-co A, Hill, Montana

Event narrative

ASOS station KHVR Havre Airport measured a 54 kt gust.

Wider weather episode

A passing upper level trough and surface Canadian cold front combined to result in a few showers and thunderstorms where the front stalled a bit across the Hi-Line. Winds along the front were already on the breezy side, so additional nudges from thunderstorms along the front were sufficient to result in gusts in excess of 58 mph.
