We are in store for another mild day across the state. Highs will be in the 40s with a few isolated locations reaching 50 degrees. A weak cold front moved through this morning that brought a trace of snow to the mountains. The rest of the day will be partly cloudy and dry.
A storm system's northern extent will reach southern Montana late tonight into tomorrow. Most precipitation will stay south of I-90, but a few isolated snow showers are possible near Helena. An overall colder and cloudier day should be expected for much of the state, with highs only reaching the 30s and low 40s.
By Friday, we will have already started to move in the right direction. The storm system passes and a ridge of high pressure starts to move in. This will bring mostly sunny skies with warmer temperatures.
The weekend will be another spring-like few days, with highs reaching the 50s and 60s once again. Clouds will start to build in Saturday night, and the wind picks up Sunday. A chinook wind with an associated arch cloud is likey Sunday into Monday.
Another storm with more seasonable temperatures moves in on Tuesday.
