Montana Stays Mild Through Weekend as Early-Week Canadian Front Brings Wind and Colder Air

Overview

• Highs largely in the 40s and 50s persist through Sunday with dry, stable weather and recurring nighttime valley fog.
• Gusty conditions are expected Sunday night into Monday, with valley gusts near 30–40 mph and 50+ mph possible from Livingston to Big Timber and other western foothills.
• Precipitation chances have been trimmed for the weekend, with only isolated showers Saturday and scattered mountain-focused rain and snow mainly in northwest Montana on Sunday.
• A colder push Monday night into Tuesday will drop highs to the 30s with teens overnight and bring light mountain-pass snow, including about 1–6 inches at Marias and a trace to 3 inches at Lookout, with lighter amounts at Lolo, Lost Trail, Homestake and MacDonald.
• Forecasters say late-week travel around Thanksgiving could face wintry interruptions depending on how the evolving pattern develops.
