Yesterday afternoon’s snowfall was not evenly distributed. Lionhead got the most with 11”, the Big Sky area came in with 6”, and 3” fell in the Bridger Range, up Hyalite, Taylor Fork and Cooke City.  West winds spiked into the 20s during the storm and are currently southwest at 10 mph with gusts of 15 mph. Today will be mostly cloudy, winds will slightly increase and temperatures will rise from the mid-teens this morning into the high 20s this afternoon.

At 5 a.m. skies are mostly cloudy, mountain temperatures are in the high teens and winds are light, measuring 10 mph out of the west. There’s been no new snow, but snow showers are expected this afternoon. Temperatures are warm enough that precipitation may begin as rain and the National Weather Service is even warning of a few thunder claps. By morning I expect 1-3 inches of new snow in the mountains.

Yesterday’s fast moving storm dropped 4-5 inches of snow in the mountains around Bozeman and Big Sky. The mountains near West Yellowstone picked up 6-8 inches while Cooke City received 3-4 inches. This morning, skies are mostly clear as a ridge of high pressure builds over the area. Limited cloud cover has allowed temps to drop into the mid-teens to low 20s F and winds are blowing 10-20 mph out W-NW. Today, skies will be mostly clear and temps will warm into the upper 20s F. Winds will remain light to moderate out of the W-NW. The next chance for snow looks to be tomorrow night into Wednesday.

At 5 a.m. there is no new snow to report and mountain temps range from the 20s to 30s F. Winds are blowing 15-30 mph out of S-SW. Today, a storm will move into the area producing widespread valley rain and mountain snow. Precipitation will begin by late morning-early afternoon and will continue through the day. Expect strong winds and rapidly dropping temperatures as the storm moves into the area. By tomorrow morning the mountains south of Bozeman will likely see 3-6 inches of new snow while the Bridger Range will see 2-4 inches.  

The mountains did not receive any new snow in the last 24 hours. Temperatures are in the high 20s to low 30s F this morning. Winds overnight were out of the south-southwest at 10-20 mph with gusts over 40 mph in Hyalite and Big Sky. Today will be partly sunny with increased cloud cover this afternoon. Temperatures will be in the 40s F and wind will be out of the southwest at 25-35 mph. Isolated snow showers tonight will deliver a trace of snow to the southern mountains with more accumulation throughout the area tomorrow afternoon.

The mountains near Bozeman and Cooke City got around 2” of snow since yesterday, while the rest of the area remained dry. Winds have been westerly at 15-20 mph with gusts near 40 mph. Temperatures this morning are in the high teens to low 20s F and will be in the high 30s F today. Wind will be light today, around 5-15 mph out of the west-southwest, and skies will be mostly clear. The next chance for snowfall is Sunday.

The mountains received around 1” of snow in the last 24 hours. Winds overnight were out of the west-southwest with average speeds of 5-10 mph and 20 mph near ridgetops with gusts in the 30s. Temperatures are in the mid-20s F this morning and will rise to high 30s today under mostly cloudy skies. Wind will remain out of the west-southwest with speeds up to 35 mph. Snow showers are expected this afternoon with 1-2” of snow by tomorrow.

At 6 a.m. snowfall is measuring 4 inches outside Cooke City, 2-3 inches around Taylor Fork and West Yellowstone and 1-2 inches everywhere else.  Winds are strong from the west to southwest with gusts of 60 mph and average speeds of 20-30 mph. Under cloudy skies mountain temperatures are in the mid-20s.  Winds will remain strong and another 1-2 inches will fall in the south this morning. Skies will be mostly cloudy and temperatures will reach the low 30s.

There’s been no new snow in the last 24 hours, but gusty winds yesterday morning topped 60 mph at the ridgetops. This morning, west winds are averaging 20 to 30 mpg under clear skies with mountain temperatures of 10F. Clouds will increase today and temperatures will warm into the 30s. Tonight winds will increase from the southwest at 20-40 mph and 1-2 inches of snow is expected by morning.

Overnight the mountains picked up 2-4 inches of high density snow. At 5 a.m. it’s still snowing lightly and temperatures are in the mid-teens to low 20s F. Winds are strong out of the west blowing 15-25 mph with gusts near 40 mph. Snow will taper off this morning as a weak ridge of high pressure builds over the area. Skies will start out partly cloudy, but will become mostly clear by this afternoon. Temperatures will warm into the upper 20s to low 30s F. West winds will remain strong this morning, but will gradually decrease throughout the day. No new snow is expected tonight or tomorrow.
