Wintry Weather Impacts Monday - Tuesday

Snow Bands/ Squalls Tuesday Evening into Wednesday

A complex weather system will impact the Northern Rockies Monday through Tuesday. While the mountains stay mostly snow, valleys will see a messy transition. Most valleys in northwest Montana will see snow Monday AM, then transitioning to a rain and snow mix in the afternoon. Elsewhere, valleys will experience a wintry mix through the event, except for north-central Idaho where valleys will see mostly rain. Wednesday morning snow levels will lower behind a front, bringing snow back to most valley floors.
