MISSOULA — Continued scattered showers will keep things cool and cloudy today before a big warm-up arrives for the weekend.
Again, mountain passes will have the greatest impact on the commutes today.
Lookout, Lolo, and Lost Trail passes will be slick and snow-covered at times, but Marias Pass and Glacier areas may also be troublesome through the morning.
Valleys will experience intermittent rain/snow/graupel showers until the early afternoon.
Most of the moisture is tracking to clear out by tonight due to a high pressure ridge building in the Pacific.
This ridge will allow for temperatures to slowly climb into balmy 50s and possible 60s through the weekend and early next week.
Skies will remain dry Thursday through Tuesday if the ridge holds as it is expected to.
By the middle of next week, we're back to spring showers, so make outdoor weekend plans while the nice weather is in the forecast!
