Good Morning! Today is Tuesday, September 1, 2026. Here is today’s forecast:
Monday was a beautiful day, featuring abundant sunshine, dry conditions, and pleasant temperatures. Today will be even warmer and is expected to be the warmest day of the week for many locations, with highs climbing into the 80s. It is also going to be partly to mostly sunny and mostly dry today, just a few isolated showers and thunderstorms around the Helena area this evening. There is also going to be a little breeze around in some areas today as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 5 and 20 mph.
There are going to be scattered showers and thunderstorms around tomorrow afternoon and evening as a disturbance passes through our area. A few of the storms that develop tomorrow may be severe, with strong outflow winds as the primary hazard. If you have outdoor plans, be sure to keep an eye to the sky. Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy throughout the day.
On Thursday, a few showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible, especially during the morning and especially in the mountains. It is also going to be partly cloudy on Thursday.
Temperatures will cool down a little bit over the next couple of days. Highs tomorrow will be in the 70s and 80s, while Thursday's highs will range from the upper 60s to the mid 80s. Breezy to windy conditions are expected tomorrow afternoon and evening and again on Thursday, with sustained winds of 10 to 25 mph and occasional gusts up to or over 40 mph. The strongest wind is expected tomorrow.
Friday and Saturday look excellent, with mostly sunny skies, mostly dry conditions, and comfortable temperatures. Highs will generally be in the 70s and low to mid 80s, accompanied by only a light breeze of 5 to 20 mph.
The next chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms arrives Sunday into Monday, with the greatest coverage expected from Sunday afternoon through Monday morning. Skies will be partly cloudy both days. Temperatures will trend cooler, with highs on Sunday ranging from the upper 60s to low 80s, while highs on Monday will be in the 60s and low 70s. There is also going to be a little breeze around on these two days as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 5 and 20 mph.
Have a tremendous Tuesday!
