Weather map

Another winter system will push into the region tonight into Friday. 
Winter Weather Advisories are out across much of central and north 
central Montana with 4-8 inches of snow expected at the higher 
elevations, and 2-4 inches possible across the lower plains. Central 
Montana may need to have the advisory extended in time some as 
occasional snow may continue into early Saturday. Rocky Mountain Front 
region may see 6-12 inches through Friday.


Snow map

Arctic air will push back into the region Friday, with highs in the 
lower single digits to 5 below zero. Temps Saturday very cold with highs 
nearly 5 or 15 degrees below zero, with morning lows near or less than 
20 below zero. Dangerous wind chills in the 25 to 40 degrees below zero 
range. One possible good signal today was the possibility of slight 
moderation of temps faster on Sunday now, but this would be ahead of 
another shot of  decent snows of 2-4" or more possible late Sunday into 
Monday.

Will continue this late afternoon emails as advisory criteria events 
occur, with warning or watch criteria events will have goto meeting 
briefings. If you need additional information see the Hazardous Weather 
Outlook
