Abnormally high temperatures will impact the Northern Rockies on Saturday. Forecasted highs for the valleys of north central Idaho and western Montana range from the low 90s to low 100s (lower valleys of north-central Idaho). If you are planning to spend time outside, remember to drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks, and avoid strenuous activity during the afternoon. While the temperatures may be hot, streams and rivers are still running cold and swift, posing the risk of hypothermia. Muddy waters may obscure underwater hazards, so remember to practice cold water safety.
A few strong thunderstorms are possible Sunday afternoon and evening, mainly for Lemhi County in Idaho and eastward into southwest Montana. The main threat with storms will be gusty outflow winds, which could locally exceed 50 mph. If you have delicate outdoor objects, consider securing them. And remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!
