Today, most locations across the state will have highs ranging from the low to upper 30s. Dry and mostly sunny conditions set in for the next couple of days.

The plains will gradually warm into the low to mid-40s by Wednesday and Thursday due to a stronger Chinook wind developing.

A high wind watch is now in place for Great Falls. Wind gusts of 60-80 MPH are possible for much of the Rocky Mountain front and Judith Basin.

A Canadian cold front moves through Thursday night into Friday, bringing accumulating snow back to the state with much colder air. As of right now, snow totals look to be in the 1-3 inch range statewide.

Highs will be in the single digits and teens, while lows will reach below zero. These temperatures will last until at least the beginning of next week.
