Blowing Snow

High Wind Watch Tue

Records Broken

Gusty west winds are expected to continue into Tuesday morning. With the fresh snowpack, blowing snow could result in areas of very poor visibility. Continue to monitor for further updates on our Facebook page, Twitter page, and the NWS Great Falls website.

Many long-standing cold temperature records fell last night across North-Central and Southwest Montana thanks to a surge of arctic air that arrived Saturday into Sunday. With many places struggling to get out of the teens, many places easily broke their lowest high temperature records for the day. Even more impressive, some locations, such as Dillon, Bozeman, Fort Benton, and Ennis struggled to get above their daily record low temperature values for daytime high temperatures. With daytime temperatures already quite low, temperatures in many places easily broke the record for overnight lows by 10°F or more, including Bozeman, who broke their daily record low by 31°F!
