NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
325 AM MDT FRI MAY 24 2013

.DISCUSSION...

...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHEAST MONTANA SATURDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING...

A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER FIRE ZONES 123
THROUGH 126 THIS MORNING. ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE FIRE DISTRICT...DRY
WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED. WINDS WILL BE WESTERLY TODAY AND WILL
ALLOW DRIER AIR TO MOVE INTO THE REGION. THE DRY AIR COMBINED WITH
HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 70S ACROSS THE PLAINS WILL CAUSE
MINIMUM RH`S TO FALL INTO THE UPPER TEENS THIS AFTERNOON. A STRONG
UPPER LOW OVER SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA WILL BRING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS BACK INTO THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER FIRE ZONES 131
THROUGH 133 WITH LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS THE MAIN THREAT.
THESE STORMS WILL BE WET. THE REMAINDER OF THE DISTRICT CAN
EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
