Bands of heavy snow will blanket most of western and southwestern Montana for your Thursday. Highs will stay in the low 30s and slushy wet roads are expected through the evening drive. Most valleys are looking to pick up 3”-5” of slushy snow with 6” or more for most mountain ranges. Snow showers will taper through the evening with lows falling back to the teens and 20s which could leave roads icy for the Friday morning commute.
