The storms will not be as widespread as yesterday, but they will be seen in the mountains of western Montana this afternoon. Temperatures will remain rather cool today with highs between 21 and 25 degrees.
We’ve had a nice streak of below average temperatures over the last week. That will continue today, with the high in Helena only expected to reach around 80°. The streak won’t last forever, however, as temperatures will climb back up to the high 80s to 90s over the weekend.

A more organized storm system will reach western Montana late this morning, bringing isolated thunderstorms to Helena in the late afternoon and early evening. Great Falls will see thunderstorms after dark, lasting through Friday.
