BILLINGS — Friday brought a return of sunshine and above-average temperatures to Montana and northern Wyoming as a ridge of high pressure began to build overhead. The final weekend of summer will be a very warm one with highs 10-15 degrees warmer than average.
Changes will begin on Monday as a trough of low pressure pushes over the Pacific Northwest, and that will gradually increase our clouds and begin to cool off our unseasonably warm highs. By Tuesday we can expect a partly cloudy sky and seasonable temperatures.
A trough of low pressure will sweep over the northern Rockies the latter half of next week, and we will round out the final days of summer in a fairly autumn-like way with more clouds, some gusty wind, rain showers, and highs will be around 15 degrees below average.
Have a fun and safe weekend!
