BOZEMAN — Much of southwest Montana was cloud-free for a good portion of Tuesday, but as we've had most days the last couple weeks, the monsoon moisture allowed isolated showers and thunderstorms to bubble up by late afternoon. The showers and thunderstorms will fall apart after sunset, and we'll be left with a mostly clear, but hazy night and morning. The dominant ridge of high pressure over the Rockies and High Plains will continue to be the main factor in our weather going forward. It is funneling more wildfire smoke from the Pacific Northwest, and more monsoon moisture from the Desert Southwest. Our current weather pattern will remain unbroken Friday and Saturday, except we'll have less monsoon moisture, more sun and more heat.
