Cold Weather Advisory for Montana Residents

As the Arctic cold front moves in late Thursday, temperatures will plummet, bringing some of the coldest weather seen this winter season. Friday will see temperatures falling through the day, dipping into the teens and potentially below zero over the weekend. Residents are advised to layer their clothing and prepare their homes for the sudden temperature drop. Additionally, pet owners should ensure that their animals are kept warm and safe during this cold snap.

Snow Accumulation Expected but Not Extreme

Meteorologists predict light accumulations of snow across the plains, with less than an inch expected in most areas, although higher amounts could occur in localized spots such as Lewistown. Meanwhile, mountainous regions may see moderate snowfall, accumulating between 3 to 7 inches. While the snowfall will not match the intensity of prior storms, it's essential to remain cautious as driving conditions may be compromised.

Meteorologist Eric Johnson reports that North Central Montana is currently experiencing calm weather, but significant changes are on the horizon. Tonight, strong winds will begin to pick up, reaching their peak tomorrow afternoon and evening, especially in the Rocky Mountain front. An Arctic cold front is anticipated to move in from Canada Thursday night, bringing light accumulating snow and the coldest temperatures seen this winter. Residents are cautioned to prepare for severe weather conditions, including wind gusts potentially reaching up to 80 miles per hour in certain areas. Later, temperatures are expected to fall dramatically into the teens and single digits over the weekend. Despite the incoming weather, there is some good news; the region is gaining daylight with later sunsets as February approaches.
