Snow in St. Patrick's Day

For Thursday evening to Friday morning, a winter weather consultation was exhibited for the mountains of the southwest Montana.

After a mild start to March, the temperatures will be back in Montana cooler with a snow in the next few days. After a few rain showers and Mountain snow showers on Thursday, more moisture will influence the state in the next few days. While only a few snow showers are likely on Friday, a widespread lighter snow could have a more important accumulation on Saturday and Sunday evening in Monday. But first this evening is a total lunar eclipse that begins at 10 p.m. While there will be mostly cloudy skies on Thursday evening, the “Blood Moon” should still be visible in the clouds for some areas. Parts of central and eastern Montana may still have too much cloud cover because the front continues to work to the east. Friday becomes a completely different day with colder temperatures, partly cloudy sky and widespread snow showers. The heights will be snow showers in the 30s and 40s that could be difficult in the mountains. While the lower increases could see a fast snow snow, several centimeters could accumulate in some mountains. The unexplained weather continues this weekend on Saturday with a mainly cloudy sky and light snow areas. Every accumulation is limited to the mountains. Sunday is largely cloudy with mild temperatures when a storm later goes into the state with some showers and a higher snow snow. This new storm will bring a mixture of rain and snow to the state on Sunday evening in Monday morning. The day of St. Patrick is Monday and after a few rain and snow in the morning the afternoon should partially cloud and turn windy with Mountain Snow Showers.

I wish you a wonderful day,
