The Bozeman area and several other counties may see dangerous winds on Thursday afternoon along with a Fire Weather Watch. Thankfully, the dangerous conditions shouldn't last more than a day.

As of Thursday morning at 10am, the AQI for Bozeman was 161, which is considered unhealthy and particle pollution that can harm the heart and lungs.

A winter-type storm is moving into the Bozeman area today, bringing rain and, at the upper elevations, snow.

Extreme caution should be used this weekend as temps rise back up to the 90s on Saturday with more gusty winds and continued low humidity. Fire danger is very high for nearly a dozen counties this weekend.

This weekend's weather will be a preview of what is coming our way soon. With fall just a few weeks away, the weatherman is calling for . . .

Some counties in Montana are still experiencing fire weather conditions with high temps, low humidity and gusty winds prompting Fire Weather Watches to continue. Northeast Montana counties are still under a Watch.

It's no secret that air quality has been extremely poor for days in Gallatin County and surrounding areas. (Saturday night reached dangerous levels for several hours, by the way.)

Very warm temperatures today across southwest Montana are contributing to very dangerous conditions in the Butte area. Watches and warnings have been an issue all week for most of the state.

Again today, dry thunderstorms and gusty winds are the enemies for the Bozeman area and many counties in Montana. Fire danger is quite high in some areas.

The enemy is dry thunderstorms through Wednesday morning for a good chunk of SW Montana including the entire Bozeman and Livingston areas.

Several counties in western Montana are under an official Heat Advisory for several days with daytime temperatures hovering around 100.

Almost every county in Montana is experiencing dangerous fire conditions through at least Wednesday. Red Flag Warnings continue for most counties.
