ISOLATED AFTERNOON T-STORMS PICK UP
Southwest Montana will fall into our more typical summer pattern with highs in the 80s and a chance of pop-up afternoon thunderstorms starting on Friday through early next week.These storms are going to be fueled by heat and sunshine that will likely make the atmosphere slightly unstable and could spark a few afternoon storms during the hottest part of the day.Once the sun sets, that fuel goes away as does our chance for thunderstorms as a result.
