MISSOULA - Light rain showers will linger for part of today before the weather shifts to warmer and drier conditions.
In general, the showers will remain very minimal, but slow-moving.
Areas that do see a few sprinkles should expect the rain to move along slowly.
Temperatures start warming today into the 80s but get even warmer by Saturday.
Daytime highs will run about 8-to-12° above normal for much of the next week.
Although this change in the weather pattern will maybe feel a bit drastic to what we've seen recently, it will not be out of place for the season/time of year.
Conditions look great for all of the 4th of July weekend and for the holiday itself.
One thing to watch closely is air quality - the changing pattern may allow some smoke from Canada to sweep in briefly. Otherwise, plan for outdoor activities and stay cool this weekend!
