Special Weather Statement issued May 27 at 4:57PM MDT by NWS Great Falls MT

Effective: Wed May 27, 2026, 4:57 PM
Expires: Wed May 27, 2026, 7:00 PM

Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms have developed over the higher terrain of Southwest, Central, and North Central Montana; with the primary hazards from these storms being gusty winds and localized heavy rainfall. Wind gusts beneath the strongest thunderstorms will mainly range from 35 to 45 mph, most notably across Southwest Montana. Heavy rainfall with hourly rates of between 0.25" to 0.75" are also possible with the stronger storms, which may lead to localized rises on creeks and streams.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
