Today, a weak ridge of high pressure will produce mostly clear skies and calm conditions. Temperatures will warm into the upper 20s to low 30s F. This period of nice weather will be short lived as another storm system approaches from the west. By this evening skies will become mostly cloudy and winds will gradually increase. The mountains south of Bozeman could see 1-3 inches of new snow by tomorrow morning with higher amounts likely by tomorrow evening.

Temperatures were in the low teens F in the mountains and single digits in valley locations. Light, westerly winds were only blowing 5-10 mph at ridgetops. Today will be a great one to be in the mountains with sunshine, light winds, and temperatures warming into the upper 20s F.
Many valley locations remained cold yesterday, but mountain temperatures were pushing 40 F and this morning were in the high 20s F. Winds increased a little last night but lessened this morning to 15-25 mph from the W. Today a cold front just east Bozeman will keep temperatures from climbing much higher than they are this morning. Winds should blow 15-25 mph and shift to a NW direction.
