Description: 
Isolated thunderstorms moving east over much of North Central and Central Montana east of Interstate 15 will continue to decrease through early this evening. These storms are producing isolated cloud- to- ground lightning strikes, brief heavy rainfall, wind gusts to 40 mph, and small hail or graupel. A few of these storms have also produced brief cold air funnels, landspouts, and/or dust devils. Most of these have been out in fields and not caused any damage, but they could cause increased wind gusts. Therefore, if you spot any of these, move indoors until the storm passes, and we would appreciate if you could report your sighting to the National Weather Service.
