Daily Snow Forecasts

Montana
Unsettled Pattern Settles In
Updated 10 hours ago Bob Ambrose
Decent snow totals from this past weekend’s storm for some areas with 14” at Red Lodge, 12” Lookout Pass and Teton Pass (MT), 8” Whitefish, and 5” Snowbowl. This week a NW flow aloft with a few embedded waves of moisture will add to our sparse Northern Rockies snowpack. It’s not going to be a lot of snow but 3” to 6” are likely Monday/Tuesday and again on Wednesday/Thursday.
US and Canada
Active pattern developing out West
Updated 19 hours ago Alan Smith
Much-needed snowfall is on the way out West this week as a more active pattern takes hold with frequent storms. Early week storms will favor the Northwest, while a strong storm will favor areas farther south later this week, including California, Utah, and Colorado. This weekend and early next week, the pattern will favor the West Coast with heavy snow possible for the Cascades and Sierra.
