FALL FOLIAGE MAP
With summer in the books, it is time to start looking at fall. We are looking at the transition of fall colors for our trees. Right now we are seeing some patchy color changes for our trees as we transition to moderate colors in western Montana. We are currently seeing some moderate color changes and will be near peak as we move over the next 7-10 days. Get out and enjoy those fall colors over the next few weeks.
COOLER & WINDY WEEKEND AHEAD
Warm temperatures continue Thursday and Friday, with many valley locations pushing into the mid to upper 70s. Gusty south to southwest winds develop Friday ahead of a strong cold front that will bring cooler temperatures and windy conditions this weekend. A few showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible Friday night into Saturday, followed by a more unsettled and seasonably cool pattern early next week.
