MISSOULA — Although a weak cold front is moving through Montana today, the impacts will be very limited.
Basically, at most we could see a few isolated showers and thunderstorms and some gusty winds. Boaters and floaters on Flathead Lake should be careful of the chop increasing today though. Winds at max will reach 35 mph, but will stay relatively breezy between 10 mph to 20 mph in most locations.
Once the front clears, high pressure will start building again in our region. By tomorrow, temperatures will jump up another 10° degrees, followed by another jump on Saturday.
Temperatures in the 90s are a possibility on Saturday in places around Missoula and Idaho.
The heat on Saturday could then lead to the development of thunderstorms on Saturday, with more showers and thunderstorms starting Sunday.
Forecast models for next week indicate a wetter and cooler weather pattern that would continue into the third week of May.
For now, make plans to enjoy the sunshine and dry weather before it goes away!
