Record Heat Precedes Severe Thunderstorms and a Weather Shift in the Western U.S.
The western United States is bracing for record-breaking heat this weekend, with temperatures soaring towards 90°F in Montana. However, a significant change in the weather pattern is on the horizon. As the weekend progresses, Montana can expect a series of thunderstorms, some of which may reach severe levels due to the unstable conditions created by the heat.
These thunderstorms are forecasted to develop beneath strong upper-level winds, which are associated with an advancing trough that will affect weather across the country in the coming days. As this upper-level system moves onshore by Monday morning, a cooler and wetter pattern is anticipated.
By the middle of next week, temperatures are expected to drop significantly, accompanied by widespread precipitation across the western half of the U.S. Notably, mountainous regions may receive substantial snowfall, marking a dramatic shift from the current heatwave. WeatherNation will continue to provide updates as this story develops, ensuring residents stay informed about the changing conditions.
