A cold front is slated to move across Montana Saturday evening into Sunday. Mother’s Day in southwest Montana could provide the area with a few strong thunderstorms as this front drives colder air into the area. While a wide-spread severe weather event is not expected, the possibility of gusty wind and small hail is possible. We will see our temperatures tumble early next week leaving highs in the 40s and 50s to begin next week.
