MISSOULA — Things begin to change today as a weak cold front moves south out of Canada.

This front won't bring anything as far as rain goes, but it will bring an increase in winds and cooler temperatures. Highs today will be much cooler compared to recent days with highs mostly in the 70s to mid 80s.

For those with plans to be on Flathead Lake, choppy lake conditions are expected this afternoon and evening as wind begin to pick up. Gusts could be around 25-30 mph.

Hazy and breezy conditions continue Friday with highs in the low to mid 80s. We'll be a bit warmer Saturday temps back in the mid to upper 8
