There are going to be a few scattered showers/storms around this evening and tonight, mainly around Helena and in western portions of north-central Montana (west of a line from Havre to Lewistown), as a disturbance begins to impact our area. We are also going to have partly cloudy skies and mild temperatures tonight as lows are going to be in the mid to upper 40s and low to mid 50s. There is also going to be a bit of a breeze around tonight along the Rocky Mountain Front and in northeastern Montana as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 20 mph.
For tomorrow, we are going to have partly cloudy skies with some isolated showers/storms around in locations east of I-15. It is also going to be slightly cooler tomorrow than it was today, but it is still going to be mild as highs are going to be in the 70s and low 80s. Along the Rocky Mountain Front/the Divide, it will be breezy tomorrow as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 20 mph. Elsewhere, there is just going to be a little breeze around tomorrow.
From Wednesday through Saturday, we are going to have lots of sunshine and mostly dry conditions as an upper-level ridge is going to be in control of our weather. It is also going to be warm/hot on these four days as highs on Wednesday and Friday are going to be in the mid to upper 70s and low to mid 80s, and highs on Thursday and Saturday are going to be in the mid to upper 80s and low to mid 90s. There is also going to be a bit of a breeze around on Thursday and Saturday as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 20 mph. On Friday, gusty winds are expected, primarily in locations east of I-15, as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 25 mph. This wind coupled with the very warm temperatures will elevate the fire danger, so please do your part to not start any new fires.
On Sunday, we are going to have mostly sunny skies with some isolated PM showers/storms around as a storm system begins to approach our area. Widespread rain showers and some thunderstorms are then expected on Monday as this storm system begins to pass through our area. The temperatures are also going to cool down some over these two days as highs are going to be in the mid to upper 70s and low to mid 80s on Sunday and the mid to upper 50s, 60s, and low 70s on Monday. It is also going to be a bit breezy on these two days as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 20 mph.
