...a powerful spring storm system will impact northeast montana
over the weekend...

.low pressure storm system will track across southern montana over
the weekend. Warm air surging northward ahead of the system will
bring rain to northeast montana today. As the storm moves east
tonight...cold air will be pulled southward...changing the rain to
snow during the evening. Snow will continue on sunday...and with
increasing winds...blowing snow will produce travel difficulties
from reduced visibilities and drifted roads.
