National Weather Service Missoula MT
248 AM MDT Thu Jul 4 2024


.DISCUSSION...

Idaho (Zones 102 and 103): High pressure strengthening from the west
will shift into the region today through Friday, resulting in steadily
warming conditions and drier RHs. A lingering northwest wind will occur
through today before more stable, diurnal winds take over Friday.

Northwest MT (Zones 104 and 105): Lingering showers will persist along
the Continental Divide through this morning, perhaps lingering into the
early afternoon, before finally shifting east and dissipating. High
pressure resulting in steadily warming conditions and drier RHs will
occur thereafter.

West Central MT (Zones 106, 107 and 108): Northwesterly flow will
prevail for much of the day as high pressure strengthens to the west and
gradually shifts over the region by Friday. Expect steadily warming
temps and lowering RHs to occur thereafter.

Southwest MT (Zones 109, 110 and 111): Northwesterly flow will
prevail for much of the day as high pressure strengthens to the west and
gradually shifts over the region by Friday. Expect steadily warming
temps and lowering RHs to occur thereafter.
