MISSOULA - As the weekend moves closer, so does the potential for some record-breaking heat on Sunday.
Temperatures are still in the 80s today, but will soon climb into the 90s for the weekend.
Missoula has the potential to break a record on Sunday.
However, most other areas and the other weekend days are not expected to be record-breaking - just hot.
Although these temperatures may not be categorized as extreme heat, it is still important to remember:
- Never leave people or pets unattended in cars during this heat
- Stay hydrated
- Wear loose, light-weight, and light-colored clothing to help keep body temperatures cool
- Take frequent breaks in the shade or AC
Fortunately, temperatures will cool quickly next week back into the mild 80s.
Conditions will continue to be dry and summery, with a few breezy days.
Long-range models are showing the potential for yet another record-breaking weekend on July 21 and July 22.
The jet-stream forecast shows temperatures reaching triple-digit levels, but it is a little far out to say exactly what we'll be feeling then.
One thing is for sure — summer heat has arrived!
