Snow continues to accumulate across western Montana this morning. It will be cloudy and cold for the remainder of the day, with highs only reaching the 30s and low 40s.
This afternoon, snow will mainly be confined to the Rocky Mountain Front, but a few more flurries can occur in the Helena area. Wintry driving conditions will be present over the next few days.
Another low-pressure system passes by on Tuesday evening into Thursday night. Depending on the track of the low, we could see some forecast rain and snow around the Helena area. Expect scattered showers Tuesday evening and most of Wednesday with mostly cloudy skies and highs in the 40s.
Overall, drier and warming conditions take hold towards the end of the week. Temperatures return to the 50s and 60s by the weekend with a west wind picking back up.
