——————————————————————————————————————————
Freezing rain and icy roadways are likely this morning for the Helena area. A shallow, cold air-mass has set in. Warm air rising over the top of the cold is the key ingredient to produce freezing rain.
Rain and snow showers will begin around the Capital around 7 AM and continue on and off throughout the day. Freezing rain and possibly a few flakes of snow will be the weather we start with, but by around 11 AM to noon, we will see the conversion to just rain. Snow will stay to the north of the Big Belt Mountains.
As temperatures drop tonight, we could see more freezing rain around Helena and to the north of the Big and Little Belt Mountains.
A cold front will come through tomorrow afternoon, and that's when we could see the conversion from rain to snow. A brief burst of snow is possible, but it will not be an all-day event. An inch or two could accumulate in the downtown area by tomorrow night.
Next week starts dry but very cold. Highs in the 20s and 30s with lows in the single digits to teens. Thanksgiving is trending on the colder side as well.
