MISSOULA — Temperatures will continue to climb today to the upper 90s, with triple-digit heat expected soon.
A few locations do have the potential for record-breaking heat, mainly in Northwest Montana between Libby and Kalispell today.
Overall though, temperatures will be above average everywhere.
The peak of the heat hits Wednesday with another day for potentially record-breaking highs.
Unfortunately, no massive cooldown is in sight just yet. In fact, temperatures may climb again next week.
With consistent heat, elevated fire danger is a concern this week.
We may see Red Flag Warnings come Thursday as winds are expected to pick up then.
A slight bit of smoke will be visible in some valleys around Missoula as small fires in the area are being contained.
