Snow continues to fall for much of western Montana Monday morning. You probably would want to spend the holiday indoors and off the roads. Light to moderate snow will stick around for many areas through the rest of the day and into early tomorrow morning
Isolated areas of blowing snow will develop near Helena later this afternoon. Winds will calm tomorrow morning
Snow will taper off Tuesday, but the threat of bitter cold temperatures sticks around. Tomorrow morning and Wednesday morning will be extremely cold. Wind chills in northeast Montana will be as low as 60 below zero. Most of the state will have air temperatures in the -10s, -20s, and even the -30s.
A small disturbance will bring more light snow west of the Divide on Wednesday afternoon and evening.
Warmer air is on the way towards the end of this week. But it comes in the form of a warming wind. This means several days of blowing snow will impact many locations in north-central Montana.
By the end of the week, Most if not all cities in Montana will be back up above normal temperatures.
