——————————————————————————————————————————

We just had the warmest and driest Helena October on record, according to NOAA weather data. But we have cooler weather ahead with the possibility of accumulating snow on Election Day.

We had a beautiful day across the state. Mostly dry conditions with highs in the low 50s.

Snow returns to much of western Montana on Saturday and Sunday. A few lower-elevation showers are possible, especially on Saturday. a dusting to no accumulation is expected.

Tuesday is looking increasingly likely as our first snow accumulation in the Helena Valley this season. This may affect election travel. Keep an eye on the forecast.

Drier and warmer conditions return for the second half of next week.
