Summary

The weather pattern for the next week across both sides of the Continental Divide looks to be mildly active. The best chances for fresh snow look to be in SW Montana where Big Sky and Bridger may see a few inches Sunday night, Monday and Monday night that may all add up to around 6” if things go as the models say they will. Over on the West side, Lookout Pass and perhaps Whitefish may see a few inches Monday night thru Tuesday. So, no big storms this week but just on and off snow showers along with a few sunny breaks with slightly above seasonal temps all being brought in by a dominant southwesterly flow. This is a normal springtime weather pattern in the Northern Rockies with a decent potential for more accumulating snow Wednesday - Saturday. NOTE: I will forecasting from Whitefish Mountain Resort the next few days where besides updating Montana’s OpenSnow, I will have some interesting weather and snowpack related facts from Whitefish’s record 16/17 season snowfall. Stay tuned…
