MISSOULA — A warming trend starts today and continues through Saturday for western Montana.
Weather conditions should begin to feel a bit more spring-like over the next few days.
Highs will slowly climb to upper 60°s for Friday/Saturday before cooling down again. Skies will be mostly sunny, with the exception of a few spotty afternoon and evening showers.
Don’t expect much accumulation or meaningful rain, but some areas might see gusty winds around 20 mph. So, area lakes may get a little choppy through Friday.
If you're in southwest Montana, you’ve got a better shot at picking up some actual rain.
Then things cool back down Sunday into Monday as a larger weather system rolls in, bringing more widespread showers. It could get pretty wet in far southwest Montana, depending on how this system tracks.
Things should calm down a bit by Tuesday and Wednesday next week, with drier and milder weather likely making a short comeback.
