The snow forecast has increased by an inch or two this morning. The heaviest snowfall is still expected from late afternoon through Friday morning. The afternoon commute today should see mainly wet roads. However we expect slick travel conditions for the Friday morning commute across most of the area, so plan accordingly and give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination safely. The wet and cold conditions will be dangerous for young livestock.
The probability of 4+ inches of snowfall has increased over central areas including Billings and Hardin with this system. Mountain and foothill locations also show better chances for heavier snow accumulations through Friday morning.
Snowy and cold today trends to warmer breezy and drier conditions this weekend. Looks like we will melt some snow this weekend with highs in the 50s (near seasonal levels). A winter storm (Spring Blizzard?) is starting to show up in the forecast for early next week. Those with Ranching, Outdoor, or Travel interests for next week should pay close attention to the forecast through the weekend as this situation evolves.
