BOZEMAN – Another cold front to pass through Montana Saturday night. This front will kick off a cooling trend that should continue into most of next week.

Surface wind gusts could be strong Friday afternoon in high wind prone areas near the Continental Divide. The next cold front could also produce locally windy conditions Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning.
