MISSOULA — Today will be warmer and mostly dry, with only a slight chance of a few afternoon thunderstorms, mainly in parts of Southwest Montana.
Starting Wednesday and continuing through Saturday, expect a daily pattern of isolated to scattered afternoon storms. Winds may pick up a bit, especially in the afternoons.
Watch the forecast:
By Thursday, a weak system will bring in more moisture, increasing the chance of storms, particularly from I-90 southward across Western Montana.
Some storms could be on the stronger side, with gusty winds and small hail possible.
This unsettled pattern will stick around through Friday and Saturday, though the storm chances will taper off slightly.
Looking ahead to early next week, a strong ridge is expected to build in, bringing a stretch of hot weather.
Highs will run 10º to 15º above normal, with early indications pointing to a potential for a few stronger storms around July 1–2.
