...A band of moderate snowfall and gusty winds likely this
evening...

A band of snow is expected to move from east to west across the
area early this evening. This band of snow should arrive along the
Rocky Mountain Front between 4 and 5 PM, then move eastward across
the Dillon, Boulder, Helena, Great Falls, Bozeman and Cut Bank
areas between 5 PM and 11 PM this evening.

Expect a quick burst of snow and gusty winds as this band of snow
moves through. There is the potential that if the snow is heavy
enough and arrives early this evening, that snow squall warnings
could be issued.

Do expect winds gusting over 40 mph for a short time when the snow
moves through, which will also reduce visibility.

Those that have outdoor plans this evening or plan to travel,
should check later forecasts for updated timing of when this band
of snowfall will move through.
