MISSOULA — High pressure that’s been anchored over the Pacific Northwest lately will strengthen as we kick off the work week!
Watch the full forecast:
Expect ample sunshine Tuesday with well above average highs in the ups 80s to mid 90s.
On Wednesday, a mainly dry cold front will make its way through the Northern Rockies with quite a bit of wind.
That, combined with very low relative humidity values (& the heat!) will create critical fire conditions.
A few Fire Weather Watches have been posted around Western Montana in anticipation of that.

Highs will still top out in the upper 80s to low 90s on Wednesday, but tumble down into the upper 70s to low 80s for Thursday and Friday behind the front.

Mainly dry conditions are expected for the extended forecast, with an isolated threat of a shower or thunderstorm heading into the weekend, with low 80s.
