Hello from the snow! It's June 29th, 2026 and I'm in the Pintler Mountains of southwest Montana, where there is a foot of snow here at about 8,000 feet.

A record breaking storm has produced incredible rain and mountain snow here at the end of June, and the storm is not over yet.

While the big, record breaking rain and mountain snow storm continues to move away, it's leaving thunderstorms and Canadian wildfire smoke in its wake. FLOOD WARNINGS for Glacier National Park have been reduced to just the Many Glacier area as the high water is beginning to recede. Many of the rivers and creeks in the state are running very high and will continue to be full over the next few days. There are and will be scattered thunderstorms the next few days. The departing storm has also drawn Canadian wildfire smoke from northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan into Montana, with some areas experiencing MODERATE air quality. The air quality should improve as that storm continues to slowly move away. Wednesday is July 1st, and the new month will start out partly cloudy with some scattered showers and thunderstorms. Highs will top out in the 70s to near 80. Thursday will be partly to mostly sunny with a few isolated thunderstorms, meaning most areas will be dry. Highs will warm to around 80. Friday will be partly cloudy with a few scattered showers and thunderstorms in the evening. Any storm should be brief as it passes but northeastern Montana will have some big, bad thunderstorms late in the evening. It's Independence Day Weekend and it's looking sunny, dry and warmer. It's exactly what we deserve. Highs will warm into the 70s and 80s. There might, might be an isolated storm on Sunday but most areas will have a dry holiday weekend. Some heat in the 80s and 90s will move in for Monday and Tuesday of next week, along with a few thunderstorms. The heat does not appear to build or linger for long, as some cooler air will move back in later next week.

Strong storms producing heavy rain, hail, and threatening parts of the state with flooding will slowly dry up in time for Independence Day.

Almost Happy Birthday America! After spring-like weather continued for most of June, it's finally feeling more like summer for Independence Day Weekend.

It's the Monday after the 4th of July weekend, and a new storm system is kicking off thunderstorms that could produce heavy rain and flooding in parts of Montana. Storms through Monday evening and Monday night will have heavy rain. These storms will move northeast through the night. The heaviest rain will set up on the Hi-Line for Tuesday with the Glasgow area right in the middle of all the action. Heavy rain in this part of the state could create flash flooding, so be careful. Elsewhere, only a few very isolated storms will form. Highs will be in the 60s for northeast Montana with the clouds and rain, but in the 70s and 80s elsewhere with sunshine. Wednesday will have scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Highs will be in the 70s and 80s. The storms will dry up on Thursday, as it will be mostly sunny and windy, with highs in the 80s to near 90. The heat will start building for Friday and the weekend. The hottest temperatures so far this year will move in this weekend. Most of Montana will have highs in the 90s. Some of southern and eastern Montana will hit 100. Please prepare for this heat now, as to make sure you and kids and pets and livestock will be cool. When 2026 is all said and done, this weekend could be the hottest weekend of the entire year. Thunderstorms are likely to return Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, bringing some relief from the heat.

This coming weekend will be HOT. It will easily be the hottest weekend of the year so far, and may be the hottest weekend of the entire year when all is said and done.

It's getting hot in here! The hottest temperatures of the year so far will move across Montana this weekend with most areas in the 90s and 100s.
