Our strong winds are finally going to be dying down tonight.
However, that won't bring much of an improvement to our weather.
In fact, cold and snow will be in the forecast for most of the week of Thanksgiving.
Temperatures will be falling into the 30s Monday, with highs in the 20s and even teens later in the week.
The potential for a snowstorm right around Thanksgiving is the biggest concern at this time.
Light snow showers will be possible both Monday and Tuesday.
Heavier snow will develop along the Rocky Mountain Front Tuesday night, and steadily spread eastward, with snow chances lasting all the way through Saturday in Eastern Montana.
Most of the state east of the Divide will likely be seeing accumulating snow on Thanksgiving, which brings the potential for major travel problems.
Parts of the state may also see heavy snow from this system.
It's still too early to put exact numbers on the snowfall, but heavy snow seems likely along the Rocky Mountain Front and in Southeast Montana, with heavy snow possible for parts of Central and Northeast Tuesday night through Saturday.
See the attached video for details on where and when we expect the heaviest snow to fall.
We'll be tracking this storm as it approaches and continuing to bring you more details as the forecast becomes more clear.
For now, stay up to date with the weather and be prepared to make changes to any Holiday travel plans.
