Strong instability in the atmosphere will lead to the risk of severe storms over areas of Montana and the High Plains.  Here is the very latest.

Severe Outlook

Isolated to scattered severe storms in the forecast for these areas of the High Plains.  Today's highest risk for severe weather will be located over Montana.

Severe Risks

All modes of severe weather are in the forecast.  The tornado risk will be more confined to areas of Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas.  The hail and wind risk will be possible all the way down into the eastern Plains of Colorado.

Forecast

These storms will be heat driven, so in order for the storms to get going we will need to tap into the strong daytime heating.  Once the sun sets, the severe weather risk will be decreasing.  Keep checking with WeatherNation for more updates.
