==Discussion==
strong thunderstorms have developed in northern Montana and are
heading towards the Canadian border. These storms have a fairly good
eastward motion as well and may stay just to the south of the
border. If the storms do cross the border they are capable of
producing large hail and strong winds.
If the thunderstorms get closer to the border we may upgrade this
watch to a warning.
Please refer to the latest public forecasts for further details.
