Montana residents should brace for a shift in weather as colder temperatures and snow are expected to sweep across the state. Gusty winds with speeds of up to 60 miles per hour will be felt in north central Montana, particularly impacting areas like the Rocky Mountain Front and central eastern Montana. Temperatures will also vary greatly, with highs around 50 degrees in Great Falls, 25 degrees in Missoula, and temperatures in the 40s in Glasgow, Cody, and Sheridan.
A new weather system moving in over the weekend will bring snow accumulation, especially near the Idaho-Montana state line. Starting Saturday, a rain-snow mix is expected to transition into heavier snowfall, with the mountains seeing the most accumulation. Lower valley floors can expect light to moderate snow conditions. The cold air will linger into the following week, with temperatures dropping into the single digits in southwestern Montana.
Residents are urged to be prepared for the changing conditions and to stay informed about the evolving weather patterns.
