MISSOULA — Our entry into the weekend will be perfect fall weather — 50s and 60s with sunshine and a light afternoon breeze.

Our exit out of the weekend, however, will be much different.

Right now, we have high pressure, which is responsible for a warming and drying trend through Saturday. If you've got outdoor plans, Saturday is the day for it!

On Sunday afternoon, a trough of low pressure starts to broaden and inch closer to Western Montana. Initially, this means rain for Sunday afternoon - then, temperatures will cool down majorly early next week.

Daytime highs from Monday into Halloween are trending towards mid-40s, with low 20s overnight. We will also see off-and-on precipitation next week in the form of rain and possibly a wintry mix even in valleys.

Basically, get outside over the next two days to enjoy some sunshine and warmer temperatures, because it won't last long!
