The risk of an impactful spring storm system affecting portions of Montana later this week is increasing. Recent forecast trends suggest areas along/east of the Divide as a focus for potentially significant precipitation and snow amounts. There is a potential for strong winds in western Montana as well. April weather is often volatile in the Northern Rockies and MT and there is a high amount of uncertainty in this early outlook, so stay tuned to forecasts if you have travel/outdoor plans or agricultural interests later this week.
