BOZEMAN – A WSW flow aloft continues to pave the way for limited moisture to move into SW Montana Friday evening through Sunday. This will keep a chance for off and on snow showers alive all weekend with minor accumulations possible for most valleys and light to moderate snow accumulations for most mountain ranges.
Another push of Arctic air is expected to drop into the state this weekend and by Sunday morning lows could be down around zero or below zero. Below normal temperatures are likely next week and morning lows could be dropping below zero for most of Montana east of the divide.
