MISSOULA — Hot and hazy this afternoon with temperatures generally in the low to mid-90s.
The high pressure ridge will strengthen Friday into the weekend with two main outcomes possible.
- Smoke remains light enough that temperatures range between 96°-to-107° around western Montana valleys and 100°-to-112° in the valleys of Idaho.
- Smoke thickens which keeps temperatures 5°-to-10° degrees cooler than forecast.
Either way, I don't really see any great scenarios here!
Very hot and hazy conditions continue into next week with highs in the upper 90s to low 100s through Wednesday.
