MISSOULA — We are looking at a beautiful Friday across Western Montana with sunshine along with temperatures in the 80s.
We are still anticipating a weak low pressure system to move through Northwest Montana Saturday morning. This will bring cloudy skies along with scattered rain showers and a few thunderstorms during the morning Saturday. Skies will then clear with sunshine returning by the afternoon.
We will see the first heat wave of the year next week as a strong ridge of high pressure builds across the western half of the United States.
Temperatures will warm well into the 90s and low 100s for Western Montana. It will be even hotter in central Idaho as highs reach 100-110 degrees by the middle part of next week.
