There are also going to be a few showers and thunderstorms around late tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow evening, and tomorrow night, generally in locations that are along the Rocky Mountain Front as well as in locations that are in southwestern Cascade County, Jefferson County, and Lewis and Clark County. Gusty winds and new fire starts due to lightning are going to be the main hazards with these thunderstorms.
