Another week of warm weather is expected in Western Montana.

Fire danger for Missoula County has been increased from ‘low’ to ‘moderate’ by the Missoula County Fire Protection Association.

The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for western Montana due to very hot temperatures and the risk of thunderstorms in the area.

The National Weather Service is warning that extremely hot weather with temperatures in the mid to upper 90’s is expected next week, along with a chance of accompanying thunderstorms.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Alex Lukenbeal in Missoula said a powerful high pressure system is settling over western Montana with temperatures getting near the mid 90’s.

In the next few days, the National Weather Service is calling for temperatures to top 100 degrees in western Montana, bringing with them high fire danger.

With temperatures in Arizona and parts of California over 120 degrees, an environmental group in Montana is urging government officials to embrace renewable energy.

Fire danger in Missoula County was bumped up to 'High' on Monday, but no new restrictions have yet been put into place.

A massive high pressure system situated over the western United States is leading record high temperatures throughout western Montana.

I’m tired of the same old ways to keep cool. Hanging out at the river, running through the sprinkler, cool towel on your forehead and spritzing yourself in front of a fan are so old school. I knew there had to be other ways to keep cool this summer. Thanks to the World Wide Web and my own noodle, I compiled a list of unusual ways to keep cool this summer. You can thank me later.

Tuesday was the hottest day in years in several Montana communities. The National Weather Service reported early Wednesday morning that Butte broke a record, and temperatures went well over 100 degrees in Missoula and Stevensville.

Take good care of your dogs when it gets hot. Panting is how they cool.
