MISSOULA — Enjoy the sunshine while it's out today - it won't stick around for long!
Starting tomorrow, an atmospheric river is expected to set-up and bring moisture to western Montana through the 23rd (Saturday).
This multi-day event will create difficult travel for early holiday road-trips/flights mainly Friday into Saturday. Mountains will receive snow, with a wide range of totals expected. Areas like Marias Pass could see a few feet of snow, while Lolo/Lookout might see several inches.
Valleys will get a mix of rain/snow with this system, dependent on temperature and elevation.
In other words, plan for wet weather/poor road conditions over the next few days. Daytime temperatures may warm-up into more widespread 40°s by Thursday. For now, stay warm with highs in the 30°s today!
Continue to keep an eye on the forecast this week - Brawl of the Wild travel will likely be impacted by this incoming weather.
