We are going to have gusty winds around tonight, especially before midnight, as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 30 mph, and wind gusts up to 60 mph are going to be possible at times. It is also going to be chilly tonight as lows are going to be in the mid to upper 20s and low to mid 30s.

Light snow accumulations are also possible in locations that see some snow tonight.
For tomorrow, we are going to have partly cloudy skies with some isolated snow and rain showers around.

It is also going to be warmer on Thursday than it is going to be tomorrow as highs are going to be in the upper 40s and low to mid 50s in most locations.
A storm system is then going to potentially impact our area on Friday and Saturday. Right now, the models disagree on the exact track of this storm system. The further west this storm system tracks, the more impacts central Montana will see from it, while the further east this storm system tracks, the less impacts central Montana will see from it. Right now, you can expect there to be some scattered rain and snow showers around on both Friday and Saturday, especially in the mountains. It is also going to be cool on these two days as highs are going to be in the mid to upper 40s and low to mid 50s. There is also going to be a bit of a breeze around on Saturday as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 20 mph.
We are then going to have partly cloudy skies with some isolated rain and snow showers around on Sunday as a disturbance passes through our area. We are also going to have seasonable temperatures on Sunday as highs are going to be in the 50s. There is also going to be a bit of a breeze around on Sunday as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 20 mph.
Partly cloudy skies and mostly dry conditions are then expected on Monday and Tuesday as high pressure is going to be in control of our weather. It is also going to feel really nice outside on these two days as highs are going to be in the mid to upper 50s and low to mid 60s. There is also going to be a little bit of a breeze around on these two days as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 5 and 20 mph.
