Montana's high temperatures today have led some regions to experience warmer than usual conditions. Despite this warmth, residents should remain cautious as a series of low-pressure systems brew in the forecast. The balance between warm sun and the creeping cold is a reminder that winter is not yet over.
Residents across north central Montana should prepare for windy conditions, particularly from the Rocky Mountain front. Although wind speeds are set to diminish, gusts may linger throughout the evening. Awareness of these shifting conditions is crucial to ensuring safety during travel.
With the arrival of a new disturbance, the risk of snow is projected to rise through the night. A winter weather advisory has been issued for northeastern Montana, where up to a foot of snow could accumulate in higher elevations. As the storm system moves through, it’s essential for residents to stay updated with weather alerts to prepare adequately.
Montana has experienced the warmest day of 2025 so far, with temperatures hitting unexpected highs in regions across the state. Although this warm weather has brought temporary relief, it poses challenges as winter conditions are on the horizon. Strong winds reaching up to 40 mph have already caused drifting snow, especially in eastern and central Montana. Looking into the evening, winds are expected to diminish across much of north central Montana, particularly in areas from Haver to St. Peter. Despite the decrease, gusts will still be present, contributing to the cool atmosphere as winds shift to a northwesterly direction. Tomorrow will bring a milder breeze, but residents should remain alert as winds will pick up throughout the day, particularly near the Rocky Mountain front. In addition, the state is facing disturbances that could bring light snow overnight. While many can expect dry conditions, areas like Cascade County and Fergus County may see some snow accumulation. As we approach Friday, lot of us may enjoy sunny spells, but the incoming weather system is predicted to bring rain and snow in the afternoon and evening, particularly impacting central and northeastern Montana.
