MISSOULA — Breezy conditions are expected Friday and Saturday across western Montana as our recent ridge of high pressure traverses further eastward… and the hazy skies are staying, too. With that, our Air Quality Alert has been extended until 9am Saturday.

A southwesterly flow will take hold for the weekend with an increased chance for late-day thunderstorm development. Depending on fire activity and proximity, we might see a little relief in the smoke department, but honestly, it’s likely staying for the weekend.

Saturday’s thunderstorm chances will mainly include southwest Montana, but be areawide by Sunday and Monday. Highs will top out in the upper 80s to low 90s Saturday and mid to upper 80s Sunday & Monday with a lot of sunshine otherwise..
