Moderate-To-Heavy Snowfall On Tap For Montana Early Next Week | Snow Levels May Drop Below 3,000ft

Forecasts are calling for moderate-to-heavy snowfall throughout Montana early next week. Temperatures are expected to drop as a spirt of precipitation hits the area. It looks like the heaviest period of precipitation is going to occur on Tuesday. It’s too early to make the call on snowfall totals, but it’s surely an exciting outlook.

“While it is to early to say with much confidence/accuracy due to model guidance undoubtedly changing over the next several days/runs, there does exist the potential for a fairly significant cool down and precipitation event early next week.”

“Bigger weather pattern change coming early next week. Snow is likely with accumulations over most mountain ranges and a possible rain/snow mix for some valleys. Still too early for accurate amounts but plan on a cold wet weather pattern next week,” stated KBZK on their Facebook Page.
