Lows are going to be in the 30s in most locations tonight, although there are going to be a few 20s around in east-central and eastern Montana, and a few low 40s around in central Montana. We are also going to have partly cloudy to mostly clear skies and dry conditions tonight.

For tomorrow, we are going to have increasing clouds with some isolated PM rain showers around, generally in locations west of I-15, as a cold front begins to approach our area. There are then going to be some scattered valley rain and mountain rain/snow showers around tomorrow night as this cold front passes through our area. We are then going to have partly cloudy skies with a chance of valley rain and mountain rain/snow showers on Saturday, especially during the morning, as this cold front leaves our area.

The temperatures are also going to cool down some between tomorrow and Saturday as highs tomorrow are going to be in the mid to upper 60s and low 70s in most locations, and highs on Saturday are going to be in the mid to upper 50s and low 60s in most locations. There is also going to be a bit of a breeze around tomorrow along the Hi-Line and in eastern Montana as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 20 mph.
