THURSDAY AND FRIDAY MOISTURE CHANCES
Wednesday remains mainly dry before a pair of weak weather systems moves through the region Thursday and Friday. These systems will bring our next opportunity for rain and higher-elevation snow, although precipitation amounts look limited. The best shower chances are expected to favor western and northwestern Montana, with snow levels around 5,000 feet. Breezier conditions are also expected, particularly Friday.
This looks like the most meaningful opportunity for moisture during the next seven days, with high pressure returning for the weekend and bringing mostly dry conditions
