Wider weather episode

Thunderstorm development underway across SW and central MT lifts northeast across central and eastern portions of north-central MT through the evening. Warm/dry conditions in the lower levels set up a favorable environment for strong outflow winds with these storms along with some potential for hail in the strongest cells. Additional thunderstorm development likely later during the afternoon and evening hours over western MT ahead of the main upper level trough moving inland across WA. This activity brings another round showers and thunderstorms later in the evening. Surface cold front ahead of the trough moves eastward across the continental divide and sweeps eastward across most of the forecast area overnight.
