Get outside and enjoy the weekend! ☀️ It’s going to be warm and dry, with valley highs reaching the upper 50s to 60s across western Montana and north-central Idaho. However, don't pack away the jackets just yet—we're tracking a cooler, wetter pattern moving in next week. Expect breezy conditions, valley rain, and even some mountain snow returning to the passes. Have a great weekend, and check back for updates on next week's system! 🏔️🌂
