A new daily rainfall record was set at Lewistown Airport yesterday, with 4.35 inches of rain, eclipsing the old record of 0.76 inches set back in 1976!

It will also remain breezy and possibly even gusty at times for the next couple of days.
A cold front will advance southward starting tomorrow. A couple of isolated showers and a thunderstorm are possible along the front. but it will mainly be dry.
The weekend will be slightly cooler in the 60s and low 70s. The first day of Fall is Sunday. We will remain without meaningful moisture until the end of next week.
