The United States is in a weather drought right now—there’s not much to talk about outside of the tropics. However, this weekend will feature some active weather in an area they need it the most. Heavy rain is possible in the interior northwest around Idaho and Montana over the next several days, potentially aiding firefighters in their war against raging wildfires that are burning hundreds of thousands of acres of land, covering the region in a thick blanket of smoke.

The temperature in Great Falls, Montana dropped more than fifty degrees in six hours on Friday, going from 54°F at 2:53 PM down to 2°F at 8:53 PM. Now that's a cold front.

Chaos and relief erupted at a county fair in Montana over the weekend after a severe thunderstorm tore down two crowded tents and stopped a Rick Springfield concert from happening. The storm also set free a majestic herd of alpacas, bless its heart.

Thunderstorms on the northern Plains are some of the most breathtaking sights that nature can produce, and a handful of storm chasers were in the sweet spots yesterday to capture these incredible pictures of the storms.
