We have had picture perfect fall weather today with sunny skies, little to no wind, and pleasant temperatures, so hopefully you’ve been able to spend some time outdoors! Nice fall weather will stick around for the rest of the week, although the weather won’t be quite as nice as it was today as there will be more cloud cover and some wind.
Tonight, we are going to have mostly clear skies and cool temperatures as lows are going to be in the upper 20s, 30s, and low 40s in most spots. It is also going to be gusty tonight along the Rocky Mountain Front as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 30 mph, and it is going to be a little breezy in a few areas east of the Rocky Mountain Front as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 5 and 15 mph.
Tomorrow will be another beautiful day with partly cloudy skies along/near the Rocky Mountain Front and mainly sunny skies east of the Rocky Mountain Front. It is also going to feel great outside again tomorrow as highs are going to be in the 60s and upper 50s in most spots. Along the Rocky Mountain Front, it will be gusty tomorrow as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 30 mph, and wind gusts up to 50 mph are possible. Elsewhere, it is going to be a bit breezy tomorrow as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 20 mph, and a few gusts over 30 mph are possible.
On Friday, we are going to have increasing clouds and warm temperatures for this time of year as highs are going to be in the 60s and low 70s.

Saturday will be a mostly cloudy and slightly cooler day as highs are going to be in the 60s and upper 50s. Most locations will remain dry on Saturday, but there will be some isolated rain/snow showers around, generally in the mountains. It is also going to be gusty on Saturday along the Rocky Mountain Front and in/around the higher terrain in central Montana as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 30 mph, and it is going to be a little breezy on Saturday in some areas east of the Rocky Mountain Front as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 5 and 20 mph.
There are then going to be some scattered rain and mountain snow showers around Saturday night, generally around the Helena area and along the Rocky Mountain Front, and there are going to be a few rain and mountain snow showers around on Sunday, generally in central Montana and along the Rockies, as a disturbance passes through the state. We are also going to have a mixture of sun and clouds on Sunday.
Cooler temperatures will return on Sunday as highs are going to be back in the mid to upper 40s and low to mid 50s in most locations. Widespread gusty winds are also expected on Sunday as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 30 mph, and wind gusts over 40 mph are possible.
