Montana's weather is currently experiencing a marked shift as the recent winter storm moves away. With high pressure building to the west, conditions will stabilize, allowing for more pleasant weather in the coming days. The region is anticipating warmer temperatures, particularly in the first half of the week, providing a brief respite from winter's chill.

As the winter storm retreats, gusty southwest winds of up to 30-40 miles per hour are making driving conditions challenging across several highways in Montana. Residents are urged to heed warnings regarding blowing and drifting snow, as these winds can contribute to hazardous conditions, particularly in elevated areas. Expect light snow in some parts, with accumulations remaining modest as the week progresses.

Cold Front Approaching: Prepare for Winter's Chill

Looking ahead, Montana is preparing for a significant drop in temperatures as an Arctic front approaches. Forecasts indicate the potential for the coldest air of the winter, with wind chills dipping below zero and daytime highs in the single digits or teens over the weekend. The sudden shift in temperatures will be accompanied by additional light snow, emphasizing the need for residents to prepare for a return to winter's grip as the week advances.

Meteorologist Eric Johnson reports that after a busy weekend, the winter storm affecting Montana is moving away, bringing in quieter weather for the start of the week. However, strong southwest winds are still a factor, contributing to blowing snow on some highways, particularly in Great Falls. Despite the chilly conditions with temperatures hovering around freezing, Wednesday and Thursday promise to bring a warming trend, reaching into the 40s. Yet, significant cold is anticipated this weekend, with an influx of Arctic air, likely marking the coldest temperatures of winter thus far. Residents should prepare for a mix of sun and snow, particularly late week before more seasonal weather returns.
