Elevated to critical fire weather concerns exist today. The greatest fire weather risk is over the mountains and foothills where little precipitation fell in September.
A weather system will bring colder temperatures and precipitation to the region Saturday into Monday. Over south-central Montana, temperatures will be cold enough for snow, especially over the higher terrain. Mainly rain is forecast over the plains of south-eastern Montana and north-central Wyoming, though occasional snow cannot be ruled out over the higher hills.
A fall weather system will bring precipitation in the form of rain and snow to much of the area this weekend into early next week. The greatest precipitation amounts have trended towards south-central Montana where anywhere from 0.5 to 2.0 inches of precipitation (rainfall or melted snow) is forecast.
A cold front on Saturday brings much cooler temperatures back to the region for Sunday into Tuesday. With this, low temperatures near to below freezing are forecast, leading to a risk of a frost/freeze.
