Bev and Jean, Thank you both so very much for keeping us updated at Hellgate. Your observations and s'caps are wonderful to see.

An area of low pressure will bring showers and breezy conditions to western Montana. The best chance of wet weather will stay confined to northwest Montana, generally north of I-90. However, we can't rule out a shower or isolated thunderstorm for Missoula. Wind gusts of 30 mph are expected areawide. Temperatures will cool a few degrees and remain below normal. Showers chances will stick around through the end of the week.

Good Morning all! I've been trying to pull the cam up all morning and not getting anything. I see a note on the side saying they were changing video servers. Does anyone know about that!??

Good Morning Cal and Jean

Good morning Hellgate, Bev, Jean and Viewers,

Thanks much for looking-in, Jean! Will try answer your question: Servers were changed a while back. Checking back on previous pages might show an image/server change but maybe cannot give a specific date. I'll look back....

Thanks much for the morning report and s'cap, Bev!

Hi: 64° Mostly cloudy with scattered rain showers. Slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation 30 percent. Highs in the lower 60s.
Lo: 41° Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of thunderstorms and isolated rain showers in the evening...then slight chance of rain showers after midnight. Chance of precipitation 20 percent. Lows near 40."

NBC Montana: "Flood Warning continues all along the Clark Fork River until further notice.

Upper level low will be the main player in today's weather. Showers will once again move through northwest Montana. Shower chance is a lot less into the Missoula Valley and through southwest Montana, but we can't rule out a spotty shower or isolated thunderstorm. This spotty shower trend will stick around for the weekend. Temperatures will be below normal over the next few days. Highs will be in the upper 50s and low 60s. Near normal temperatures return early next week....
