Father’s Day Thunderstorms Forecast for Central and Eastern Montana

Central and eastern Montana are forecasted for thunderstorms and rain this Father’s Day. Warm temperatures in the 80s are expected, while cooler areas will stay in the 70s. Following unsettled weather early next week, drier conditions may arrive, but the end of June could see cooler temperatures and more rain.

Weather forecasts indicate that central and eastern Montana are bracing for showers and isolated thunderstorms this evening. This pattern is expected to persist into Father’s Day on Sunday, with a significant system of thunderstorms predicted to affect areas like Jordan, Miles City, and Glendive. Most of the state is likely to see some precipitation, though Kalispell and Whitefish might dodge the brunt of the storms.

As for the temperatures, Sunday is shaping up to be quite warm, with highs expected to reach the 80s in cities such as Billings, Great Falls, Bozeman, Helena, and Missoula. On the contrary, Butte and Lewistown will remain cooler, with temperatures limited to the 70s. These temperatures are expected to exceed the seasonal averages for this time of year by nearly 10 degrees.

Looking ahead to Monday, isolated storms could re-emerge, prolonging a period of unsettled weather that may bring additional rain through Tuesday. However, the forecast does suggest that drier weather may return by the latter half of the week, with temperatures generally remaining above normal.

Beyond immediate forecasts, the 8-14 day outlook highlights a potential shift towards cooler than normal temperatures and above normal precipitation as June comes to a close, leaving Montanans with a mixed bag of weather to contend with in the early summer days.

In summary, central and eastern Montana can expect showers and thunderstorms on Father’s Day, with warmer-than-normal temperatures for most areas. Cooler spots like Butte will stay in the 70s, while the rest of the state sees highs in the 80s. After the storms potentially persist into Monday and Tuesday, drier conditions are forecasted for later in the week. However, the end of June might bring a return to cooler temperatures along with increased precipitation.
