Light to moderate snow will continue to impact the Helena area through about noon Friday. Some scattered showers will stick around until tonight, mainly in the higher terrain.
Roads will be slick and visibility will be minimal at times, so be careful commuting this morning.
Temperatures this weekend will be in the 20s and 30s for much of the state. Western Valleys will be in the teens and 20s with inversion. Sunday morning will be particularly cold, with most valleys at or below zero degrees.
Inversions in Helena will last through most of next week with clear skies and light to no wind. A drier pattern sets in for the end of January.
Wind in the plains will pick up on Sunday and warm most locations into the 30s and 40s most of next week.
The next storm system looks to arrive around the beginning of February.
