SNOW FOR THE WEEKEND?: The short answer is YES, we are expecting to see some snow this weekend.The devil is in the details on this one though.Most of our snow potential going to be above 6500 feet, and will be limited in general to our western mountains. This is good news for the high mountains to pick up some snow, however limited, after a dismal winter season.We rarely see late June snow, and should at least give us hope for our fire season.
We will begin to see a more active weather pattern emerge starting Wednesday afternoon with a few isolated to scattered thunderstorms developing in the southern part of the viewing area (southern Gallatin, Madison, and Beaverhead counties).Those shower chances will be more widespread Thursday and Friday.Friday is expected to be windy as a strong Pacific storm works chilly air back to the region by Friday night into Saturday bringing chilly rain and high mountain flakes to the area for the weekend and early next week.
