Generally warm and dry conditions will develop across much of the region for today. Some isolated storms are possible especially in Eastern Montana.

Afternoon high temperatures all across the region today will be into the mid-70s to mid 80s with sunshine in a few clouds. A few isolated storms could develop along the Eastern edge of Montana this afternoon and early this evening.
