Light snow continues this evening around the Helena area. We will start to dry out overnight. Temperatures drop into the teens and twenties by tomorrow morning, which will create patches of ice on roads.
Some fog may develop within the Helena valley. A temperature inversion will set in for tomorrow. Wind will stay on the lighter side through most of the day, but it will eventually pick up on Thursday afternoon.
The wind will remain gusty through most of the week near the Continental Divide. The Rocky Mountain Front will feel the strongest winds approaching 50 MPH.
The wind will keep temperatures near to slightly above average this week. Highs will be in the 30s and 40s for most of the state.
Another round of wintry weather will come through the state on Friday. It's looking like this will mainly produce impactful mountain snow through southwestern Montana. Valleys and the plains will see a rain/snow mix. Significant accumulation is not expected in lower elevations at this time.
