NWS: “Moderate” Risk of Hail Today Across NC Montana
![NWS: “Moderate” Risk of Hail Today Across NC Montana](https://townsquare.media/site/126/files/2024/06/attachment-6-24-Hail-Risk.jpg?w=1200&q=75&format=natural)
A mammatus cloud passed over the KSEN/K96 studios in Shelby about an hour ago. That’s a cloud with what I would describe as a “bubbly texture” on the bottom. (I’m told whoever came up with the name “mammatus” thought the bumps looked like cows’ utters.) Mammatus clouds are often seen with thunderstorms, and indeed, our forecast for North Central Montana today does include the possibility of thunderstorms, and possibly even some hail.
The following information – and the hail-threat graphic above – are from the National Weather Service forecasters in Great Falls:
Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected across most of North-central and Central Montana. Temperatures across North-central, Central, and Southwestern Montana will warm up to above average on Sunday.

Montana Fouts and Haylie McCleney are two of the most legendary players in Alabama softball program history. While the two’s careers never overlapped in Tuscaloosa (Fouts played from 2019-2023 and McCleney from 2013-2016), they have had the opportunity to play together in the professional ranks.
Both Fouts and McCleney were on Team USA in 2022 for the World Games, when the team won the gold medal over Japan. And now, they will get to play together again on Team Alo as part of the Athletes Unlimited Pro Softball competition AUX.

New dinosaur species found in Montana

The Natural History Museum of Utah has announced the discovery of a new species of dinosaur, which was discovered right here in the Treasure State.
It’s called Lokiceratops Rangiformis. The name means “Loki’s horned face that looks like a caribou.” It is inspired by the distinctive horn pattern similar to the Norse god Loki as portrayed in comic books.
The fossil remains were found in northern Montana’s famous Badlands near the Canadian border in 2019. Details about the Lokiceratops discovery have been published in the scientific journal PeerJ.

The fossil is on display at the Natural History Museum of Utah.
Paleontologists studying Lokiceratops say the species inhabited swamps and floodplains in Laramidia more than 78 million years ago.
“This new dinosaur pushes the envelope on bizarre ceratopsian headgear, sporting the largest frill horns ever seen in a ceratopsian,” said Joseph Sertich, a paleontologist with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and Colorado State University, and co-leader of the study. “These skull ornaments are one of the keys to unlocking horned dinosaur diversity and demonstrate that evolutionary selection for showy displays contributed to the dizzying richness of Cretaceous ecosystems.”
