A small disturbance will bring more light snow to the mountains and valleys of western Montana this afternoon through tomorrow morning. Accumulations of a Trace to 2" in lower elevations of western Montana are expected, with mountains seeing up to 6". The plains should stay mainly dry aside from a few isolated showers with little to no accumulation.
Blizzard-like conditions are expected along the northern Rocky Mountain Front in the Browning area. Blowing/drifting snow and near-zero visibility will impact that region for the next few days until sufficient snowmelt occurs.
Blowing snow will be a concern for most of north-central Montana for the next few days, especially on Thursday and Friday.
With this wind comes warmer air. After a brutal February, most cities will reach the 40s by the weekend. A much-welcome change for much of the state.
