On and off wind through the back half of October continues today as gusts could approach 60 MPH in portions of north-central Montana. The Helena Valley will be windy as well.
A cold front works its way through the state today. Scattered rain and snow showers will bring light precipitation to northwest Montana. Chinook winds will keep most of the lower elevation east of the Continental Divide dry. Showers may move as far south as the Marysville area.
The end of the workweek will feature highs in the 50s under partly cloudy skies and lighter winds. Wind speed will be tolerable on Halloween Night. Trick-or-treating weather will be dry, but a storm system will move in for the weekend, bringing wind impacts back to the state.
Next week starts off dry, partly cloudy, and mild with highs in the 50s
