While most of the state will receive rain, areas along and adjacent to the Rocky Mountain Front will see heavy snow.

The heaviest snow will be in the mountains, but up to a foot of snow is possible in St.Mary, 3 to 5 inches in Browning, and 1 to 3 in Cut Bank. Snow will be heavy and wet.

Temperatures will fall through the evening as a cold front continues to push through.

Both rain and snow will taper off Wednesday morning.

The National Weather Service issued the following message on Tuesday afternoon:

A strong fall storm will bring light snow and even the potential for a thin glaze of ice to portions of the Hi-Line through tonight. At this time, the best chance for seeing any light freezing drizzle or rain will be up through the midnight hour tonight. Snowfall accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are possible along the United States and Canadian border, with up to an inch along the remainder of the Hi-Line. In the Bears Paw Mountains, up to 3 inches of snow is possible on the highest peaks. If you have travel plans this evening and during the overnight hours, plan on the potential for some slick roadways and allow extra time to reach your destination.

People are advised to keep track of road and weather conditions.
