The whole country is dealing with this arctic outbreak, not just Montana. We will see significant accumulating snow along the Gulf Coast early this week!
This will be the last day of the very dangerous cold air. Cold weather alerts will start to be shaved off by noon today. Warming Chinook Winds pick up tonight and blow the cold air out. Winds could be gusty at times, 50-60 MPH along the Rocky Mountain Front.
Scattered snow showers will be around the state on Tuesday and Wednesday. Snow accumulations will be light for most areas, but northerly up-slopes and mountains could see isolated instances of 3-9 inches.
More significant snow will come along on Friday. Northerly up-slope areas will be favored for the most snowfall. Colder air returns for the weekend.
