Gallatin County Severe Thunderstorm Watch Wednesday Afternoon
Rowdy weather conditions may arrive in Gallatin County with strong, gusty winds and possible hail on Wednesday afternoon.
There are several areas in southwest Montana that may be affected by severe weather this afternoon. See below for a complete list of areas of concern. (There's a lot of them!) Central Montana counties are also included in this Severe Thunderstorm Watch.
Areas outside of Dillon, Montana have already experienced dime sized hail with isolated storms.
Thunderstorms producing cloud to ground lightning within 5 nm of the Bozeman airport are expected between 3 and 6 PM.
Take care if you're traveling in wide open areas or over mountain passes. Heavy lightning activity can be very dangerous, and conditions can worsen quickly. Strong, gusty winds will carry debris and can snap tree branches.
