Confidence remains high that a long duration and significant amount of snow will fall along the Continental Divide from late this evening through Saturday afternoon, with periods of whiteout conditions on Thursday. Further east over the remainder of Central and North Central Montana confidence in the timing and amount of snow is moderate; however, subtle changes in the timing of a cold front and where it stalls out from Friday through Saturday will have a big impact on snowfall amounts. #MTwx
