We are tracking isolated showers mostly in the Southwest part of the state tonight.
Upper level snow will begin falling through this evening into Thursday morning.
Snow will fall at increasing rates over the night in elevations above 6,000 feet.
We have a Winter Weather Advisory issued by the National Weather Service in effect tonight at 6 PM until Thursday morning at 9 AM.
This is mostly due to the travel impacts that snow on roads and gusty winds will cause.
Rain and snow mix are in the forecast for upper and lower elevations for the rest of the week.
Lower elevations will see little to no accumulation, but higher elevations could start to see build up for the beginning of our winter snowpack.

The NWS Advisory reads:
* WHAT…Snow expected above 6000 feet. Total accumulation 4 to 8
inches, with 8 to 14 inches above 8000 feet, is expected. Winds
gusting as high as 35 mph could lead to blowing snow.
* WHERE…Elevations above 6000 feet in Madison and Gallatin
Counties. This advisory does not include the city of Bozeman
or Bozeman Pass.
* WHEN…Until 9 AM MDT Thursday.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Plan on slippery road conditions.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…
A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means periods of snow will
cause primarily travel difficulties. Expect snow covered roads
and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving.
