There are going to be a few snow and rain showers around this evening and early tonight, generally in the mountains and along the eastern half of the Hi-Line, as a disturbance continues to impact our area. We are also going to have decreasing clouds tonight with a few areas of fog around later on tonight, generally along the Hi-Line. It is also going to be chilly tonight as lows are going to be in the teens and 20s in most locations (single digits in northeastern Montana).
For tomorrow and Friday, we are going to have partly cloudy skies and mainly dry conditions as high pressure is going to be in control of our weather. There are also going to be a few areas of fog around each morning, generally along the Hi-Line. The temperatures are also going to warm up some over these two days along the eastern half of the Hi-Line as highs are going to be in the mid to upper teens and low to mid 20s tomorrow and the mid to upper 20s and low 30s on Friday.
