Another Windy Night In The Forecast For Missoula, Western Montana

After last night's insane severe thunderstorm that brought winds as high as 109 mph at the top of Mount Sentinel, we hoped it would be a relatively calm Thursday night. And although the forecast isn't calling for 109 mph, we are in line for another blustery evening.

According to the National Weather Service Missoula forecast winds are expected to rise to 16-20 mph through Thursday evening and robust wind gusts as high as 31mph.

The wind is already picking up as I write this Thursday afternoon and by the looks of the chart above it will last until 9 pm tonight.
