MISSOULA - More summer weather is on the way for western Montana.
Heading into the weekend, temperatures will begin to rise to the highest levels seen so far in 2023.
Missoula and surrounding areas are expected to reach the high 90s, with low 90s for most other locations.
However, it will be a steady climb into this heat and a quick decline as well.
Monday will be the hottest day, so plan to have ample sunscreen, water, and other cooling necessities.
Along with the heat, the potential for showers and storms will continue thru the weekend.
Generally, chances for storms are minor, between 20-30% again.
When storms do pop up, they'll likely have brief, but heavy rain, lightning, winds, and possible hail.
Radar depicts the majority of the storms sticking to local mountain ranges.
The chance is still there though, for a storm to swing off the mountain and into a valley.
