Heavy rain continues to fall across Montana today. Several locations like Helena, Great Falls, Carter, and Cascade have received over an inch of rain so far, with more on the way. A cold front brought the initial wave of rain last night. Upslope flow will feed more moisture to the state today. Areas will start to dry out from north to south through the afternoon hours. Some highs, especially in southwestern Montana, will only reach the 30s and 40s.
Most areas in western Montana will be dry tomorrow. We will also be on a warming trend once again. Highs will reach the 60s. Clouds will decrease throughout the day.
Wednesday will be a nice day with dry conditions and highs in the 70s.
A small disturbance with a weak cold front passes by on Thursday. A few isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible, but most areas will stay dry.
More impactful weather returns to Montana around Mother's Day.
