——————————————————————————————————————————
A wintry mix will begin to impact western Montana today. Freezing rain will likely develop overnight to make travel difficult tomorrow morning. We will see the conversion to snow on Saturday.
Today, some showers will be around the higher elevations—a mix of rain and snow with mostly cloudy to overcast conditions. Highs will reach the 40s for most of the state, but a front north of Great Falls will keep the Hi-Line near or below the freezing mark.
More widespread precipitation is expected tomorrow with freezing rain in valleys and the plains in the morning. Highs will be in the 30s and 40s as the Canadian front pushes south.
I predict the rain/freezing rain to covert to snow in the Helena area on Saturday. We could be looking at a couple of inches of accumulation.
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.
Helena Temperature Records Today:
High: 61 (1904)
Low: -18 (1946)
AVG: 40/21
Great Falls Temperature Records Today:
High: 70 (1917)
Low: -20 (1946)
AVG: 42/22
Have a great Thursday!
