Montana Braces for Weekend Snow, Possibly at Lower Elevations, NWS Says
The National Weather Service in Great Falls on October 8 forecast a sharp weekend cooldown with snow possible even at lower elevations across parts of Montana, Men's Journal reported.
Forecasters expressed "increased confidence of low-elevation snow, especially between the Rocky Mountain Front and the Highwoods towards the Canadian border" for the weekend of October 10-11. Mountain areas including Teton Pass and Showdown could see 3 to 6 or more inches. Sunday highs were expected to reach only the upper 30s to low 40s.
The service called it the "first significant, widespread-impactful snowfall of the season late Saturday through early next week," with a dramatic temperature swing — from 80 degrees Friday to the 40s Saturday.
Officials advised travelers to prepare for winter driving conditions in mountain passes and to monitor updates as the storm system develops.
