Unsettled Weather and Mountain Snow Mid Next Week

Widespread Rain and High Elevation Snow

Mid next week (Oct 27-29), Western Montana and North Central Idaho will see a mix of mountain snow and valley rain. Snow levels are expected to drop to between 4,500 and 5,500 feet, bringing slick travel conditions to area passes. Impacts are most likely during the overnight and early morning hours across Lookout, Lolo, Lost Trail, Marias, MacDonald, and Homestake Passes. In the valleys, expect rain, localized morning fog limiting visibility, and near-normal temperatures in the mid 40s to mid 50s.

🌧️ Widespread valley rain and high elevation snow are heading our way Thursday night into Friday! Most lower elevations will see 0.10" to 0.50"+ of mostly beneficial rain. Watch out for ponding on the roads and an increased hydroplaning risk! ❄️ Heading into the mountains? Snow levels will drop to 5000-6000 feet by Friday evening. Expect 1-4" of wet snow above 6,000 feet, which could lead to slushy conditions on passes like Homestake (I-90) and MacDonald (Hwy 12).
