GREAT FALLS- The Missoula Osprey could not keep up with the Great Falls Voyagers on Wednesday night, falling 9-5.

Chrissy Kohler's StormTracker Weather Center forecast: A ridge of high pressure is strengthening over the Northern Rockies and that's bringing us sunshine and heat. Highs today will top out in the 80s across the board. We are seeing a few of the high, wispy clouds moving through the Missoula and Bitterroot valleys due to a plume of moisture moving up out of the desert southwest. We have the very slim chance for an isolated thunderstorm this afternoon in the extreme southwestern part of the state, but it is something to be aware of.
