Snow showers are moving across western Montana this evening as a disturbance exits the region. Some of these showers will sometimes produce heavy snowfall rates, 0.5" an hour. So use caution when driving over mountain passes.
Tomorrow will be a beautiful day. Highs will approach 50 degrees with mostly sunny skies.
A pair of storm systems will affect the state Thursday and late Friday into Saturday. The first will bring early morning snow along a cold front. Instability snow showers will form in the afternoon. Then for the early weekend, another system brings some snow down to lower elevations. Accumulation will be little to none. Mountains could see a few inches.
Some warmer spring-like weather is on tap. Highs will be in the 60s and 70s statewide with a few showers about, but no large-scale system come in until the end of next week.
