Good Morning! Today is Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
Beautiful weather is expected for Veterans Day 2026 (today) as an upper-level ridge will be in control of our weather. Along the Rocky Mountain Front and around Helena, it will be partly cloudy today, while east of the Rocky Mountain Front, mostly sunny skies are expected. The wind will be weaker today than it was yesterday, but it will continue to be gusty along the Rocky Mountain Front as gusts up to 50 mph are possible, and it will be a bit breezy in some areas east of the Rocky Mountain Front, with sustained winds of 10 to 20 mph. It is also going to be unseasonably warm today as highs will be in the 60s and mid to upper 50s.
Pleasant weather continues tomorrow and Friday as the upper-level ridge remains in control of our weather. Both days will feature partly to mostly cloudy skies and dry conditions. It will also be mild with highs in the 60s and mid to upper 50s and there will just be a little breeze around, with sustained winds of 5 to 20 mph.
Saturday will be partly cloudy and mostly dry across north-central Montana. Around Helena, it will be partly to mostly cloudy, with a few rain showers possible, generally during the afternoon and evening, as a disturbance moves through the region. Temperatures will be a little cooler, with highs in the 50s and low 60s, and it will be a little breezy in some areas.
Breezy conditions return to some areas on Sunday as sustained winds will be between 10 and 25 mph. Outside of the wind, very nice weather is expected on Sunday with mostly sunny skies, dry conditions, and pleasant temperatures as highs will be in the 50s and low 60s.
Monday will be mostly cloudy and mostly dry, just a few isolated rain and mountain snow/rain showers around. There will then be some scattered rain and snow showers around on Tuesday, generally during the afternoon and evening, as a stronger disturbance begins to impact the state. Cooler temperatures will return early next week with highs back in the mid to upper 40s and low to mid 50s.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
