Wow – Spring is unpredictable! Last night a surprise storm dropped 2-3 feet of heavy dense snow over the mountains of southwest Montana. It looks like another 1-2 feet will fall over the next few days. The storm riding should be absolutely amazing! April Fools.

Actually - temperatures will be around 10 degrees above average today and conditions will be mostly dry. This morning, the mercury is sitting in the upper 20s F under clear skies and winds are calm. Today, temperatures will warm into the mid-40s F under partly cloudy skies and winds will stay light out of the west. There is a chance for an afternoon shower in the mountains around Big Sky, West Yellowstone and Cooke City. There is also potential for lightning this afternoon as the atmosphere grows increasingly unstable.

This morning there is no new snow to report. At 4 a.m. temperatures are in the upper twenties F and winds are blowing 10-20 mph out of the WNW with ridgetop gusts reaching into the 30s.

No precipitation is expected over the next 24 hours. 

Over the past 24 hours the mountains picked up 1-3 inches of high density snow above 8,000 ft. This morning temperatures are in the twenties F and winds are blowing 10-20 out of the WNW. A northwest flow aloft will keep skies cloudy this morning producing a slight chance of mountain snow and valley rain. Conditions will dry out this afternoon as a weak ridge of high pressure builds over the area.

Yesterday, under partly cloudy skies, mountain temperatures rose into the mid-thirties with light west to southwest winds.  Overnight temperatures dropped to 20 degrees, but these will quickly rise into the 40s today under sunny skies. Ridgetop winds will remain light at 5-15 mph out of the west to southwest.  Tonight, clear skies will help drive the temperature down to below freezing.  No new snow is expected in the coming days, just a strong warming trend.

Under sunny skies and light winds, mountain temperatures rose to 32F yesterday but never reached t-shirt warmth. That will change today. Under partly cloudy skies mountain temperatures will rise from the teens this morning into the low 40s by mid-afternoon and drop below freezing tonight. Ridgetop winds are 10-15 mph out of the west to southwest and will remain light. A ridge of high pressure brings warm and calm weather over the next few days.

Today, skies will be clear and temperatures will warm into the mid to upper 20s. Winds will continue to blow 5-15 mph out of west. A ridge of high pressure will remain parked over the region over the next few days producing clear skies and warmer temperatures. 

Overnight the mountains picked up a trace of new snow. This morning temperatures are ranging from the single digits above or below zero F and winds are light out of the WNW blowing 5-10 mph. Today, a cold northwest flow will allow highs to warm into the upper teens to low 20s F and winds will stay light out the WNW. Skies will stay partly to mostly cloudy with both sun and light snow showers likely throughout the day. A ridge of high pressure will build this evening producing clear skies and warmer temperatures tomorrow.
