Overview

• Low clouds, fog, and intermittent light snow continue west of Billings, with a risk of freezing drizzle along western foothills reducing visibility.
• A stronger system Wednesday through Thursday is forecast to bring mainly rain in lower elevations and accumulating snow above roughly 6,500 feet.
• Forecast guidance points to about 0.2 to 1.25 inches of liquid precipitation, with higher-end amounts favored and a high chance of deep snow on the highest peaks.
• Probabilities include about a 70% chance of at least 6 inches over the Absaroka and Beartooth peaks and around 40% in parts of the Bighorns.
• Recent snow included a few inches in Helena’s valley to around a foot higher up and 1.5 inches in Great Falls, with melting expected to refreeze and create slick roads overnight.
