——————————————————————————————————————————
A "bomb cyclone" is impacting the Pacific Northwest bringing heavy rain, snow, and wind. That moisture will reach Montana over the next few days, but will not be as severe.
The particular cyclone that has "bombed out" beat the 24 millibars in 24 hours threshold by over three times that amount.
This storm will start influencing western Montana today. Increasing clouds with snow showers west of the continental divide. Highs will only reach the 30s for much of the state.
Moisture will increase as the storm moves further inland throughout the week. Freezing rain is likely for many southwest Montana valleys on Thursday and Friday.
We could be looking at a few inches of lower-elevation snow Friday night into Saturday. Behind this system is very cold temperatures. Highs in the 20s and lows in the single digits to begin next week.
