High Pressure Sets Up a Short Warm, Dry Stretch for the Helena Area
A high-pressure ridge ushers in a brief, calmer break from midweek showers.
Overview
- Scattered rain and mountain snow in parts of north-central Montana, including near Helena, tapered toward sunset with skies turning partly to mostly clear overnight.
- High pressure is bringing mostly sunny, mainly dry weather with highs rising into the 60s and 70s.
- Nights stay chilly through the stretch with lows in the mid to upper 20s to low to mid 30s.
- A weak system this weekend is expected to bring only a few mountain showers as most lower valleys stay dry and mild.
- Early next week looks warm to start before a pair of weak disturbances brings isolated afternoon showers over higher terrain and a brief, breezier cooldown with sustained winds near 10 to 20 mph.
