The National Weather Service says western Montana may face another widespread and powerful storm system this week. Cleanup continues from Monday's storm that left a path of destruction in its wake and thousands without power for days. Edward O'Brien visited the NWS offices in Missoula to talk with Meteorologist Luke Robinson about Friday's forecast.

Be prepared for strong gusts, rain, and hail throughout western Montana Friday.

"We haven't seen anything like this this year," Robinson says. "We are thinking that everyone in western Montana is going to potentially be hit by this storm...It could rival what happened on Monday."

Luke Robinson is a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Missoula.
