MISSOULA — The current weather pattern continues in western Montana today — rain, snow, overcast skies, and cooler temperatures.

This morning, snow showers are falling in Southwest Montana. Roads between Drummond and Philipsburg are slushy or snowy and icy.

Throughout the day, light off-and-on showers will drizzle. Highs should climb only to mid-40s and a few 50s if we're lucky.

Cold front tonight for the Flathead; beautiful weekend ahead

A cold front from Canada is then expected to sweep in tonight and bring winter weather to the Flathead/Mission region.

The National Weather Service has issued Winter Weather Advisories to warn about the commute impacts tomorrow morning.

Generally, valleys included in the advisory could see 1-3" overnight and through tomorrow morning.

Mountain passes like Marias Pass are forecasted to receive 5-8" of snow.

That front will then move down south across the Treasure State until it exits the region on Friday.

Basically, this means we have two more days of winter/spring wet weather. By Friday, full sunshine is expected.

Temperatures won't warm up until Saturday and Sunday though. Some nice 60s are on the way!
