Monday, the rain/snow showers continue to stay isolated across North Central, Central, and SW Montana. Due to the cold front passage, it will be colder across the region with well-below seasonal average temperatures expected along the Hi-line. Expect high temperatures in the 30s and 40s with partly sunny to cloudy skies. Due to a strong surface pressure gradient, it will be windy on Monday with the strongest winds along the Rocky Mountain Front and SW MT.
The area dries out a bit Tuesday with cool temperatures across the area. On Wednesday, an upper-level ridge forms over the region, briefly allowing temperatures to warm up with mostly dry weather. An upper-level trough quickly follows and remains through Friday, bringing cooler temperatures and a return to widespread precipitation.
