Wind will still be gusty along the Rocky Mountain Front tomorrow. But not enough to warrant a high wind warning at this time. Highs will be in the 80s for most of the state with sunny to mostly sunny skies.

Saturday will be a nice day with highs in the low to mid-80s and lighter wind.

There is a chance of a shower on Sunday with an entrance trough to the region, mainly along the Hi-Line.

Next week will begin on the cooler side, with highs in the 60s and 70s.
