MISSOULA - Showers & isolated, weaker thunderstorms will continue through the evening hours as a system passes through the region. Snow levels will hover between 5,500 - 6,500' overnight with light snow not out of the question for places like MacDonald & Homestake Passes - perhaps even the Georgetown Lake area with minimal impacts. Clouds will begin to break up overnight from the NW, though, allowing for patchy morning fog Thursday especially across northwest Montana.
Starting Thursday, a nice warming and drying trend takes shape with high pressure building in! Look for mainly sunny skies with highs in the mid 60s (average)... upper 60s to low 70s for Friday with mainly sunny conditions again.
The Memorial Day holiday weekend is shaping up to be a great one! As of now, those mainly sunny skies are expected to continue Saturday and Sunday with dry conditions and highs well into the 70s even pushing 80°... slight chance for a shower or two Memorial Day itself, but generally looks partly cloudy and mild.
Our next system looks to move in as early as Monday night, but likely Tuesday into Wednesday. This will likely cause cooler and active weather for the region through much of next week.
