Spring Snow & Wind

Wet Pattern Later this Weekend

A cool and wet weather pattern will return to the Northern Rockies late Sunday, and remain in place through at least Wednesday. Below normal temperatures will bring mountain snowfall, with the potential for light snowfall in area valleys of western Montana (Monday morning). Breezy westerly winds of 30-40 MPH will accompany this low pressure system Monday and Tuesday as well, especially for locations a long and east of Highway 93.

There is a 80 percent probability that a wet pattern will develop later Saturday into next week. There is a high probability (70 to 80 percent), that the mountains could get over 6 tenths of an inch of liquid. Snow levels could be as low as 4000 feet at times. There could be difficult mountain and mountain pass travel thanks to the snowfall. Ponding of water, poor drainage or clogged culverts could be an issue during this period.
