NEAR RECORD HEAT NEXT WEEK:
After a significant cold front moved through on Thursday, we are starting to see a much warmer pattern emerge next week. Highs will build to the middle 90s across southwest Montana by Monday and Tuesday. With that heat in place, it will be difficult to see any significant chance for rain in southwest Montana as the hot and dry pattern blocks any Pacific fronts from moving through and our moisture will be cutoff with a warm and dry desert airmass moving into the region.
