Some severe thunderstorms are possible tomorrow (Thursday 6/10) for southeast Montana, and while the chance of a tornado is low, high winds and hail are a threat for our area.

According to the National Weather Service, a cold front will be moving through southern Montana and northern Wyoming on Thursday afternoon, bringing severe storms that have a potential for high winds and large hail.

Current forecast from the NWS says the severe storms are expected between 3pm and 11pm Thursday, that's also when the strongest winds are expected to increase fire weather danger. Low humidity will cause fire weather concerns for "locations east of a line from Roundup to Billings to Sheridan," according to the National Weather Service.
