Light snow has developed across western Montana this morning. New snow amounts of up to an inch will be possible in many valley locations. Evaro Hill, Seeley Lake, Columbia Falls, and West Glacier could see as much as 3 inches of snow. This light snow will fall on snow-packed and icy roads. Tuesday afternoon, highs will be in the 10s and 20s.
High pressure will bring a break from the wintry weather Wednesday and Thursday. During this time, temperatures will gradually start increase. Valley inversions will keep temperatures from reaching their full potential, but we will return to the 20s and 30s.
Our next weather maker will bring another round of light snow Friday and Saturday. Lookout, Lolo, and Marias could see 2 to 4 inches of snow. Snow levels look to fluctuate between 2500 and 4000 feet, meaning lower valleys may mix with light rain both Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
