    Montana Weather March 5 Midday - Winter Storm Warning
    Mar 5 2026
    Good afternoon. Montana. I'm Aaron Jolly. That half foot of snow we woke up to? It's wrapping up now. Step outside and you're looking at 37 degrees with a few flakes still drifting down. But forget about today — this weekend is about to get absolutely wild. In the next 24 hours. Eastern Montana wraps up the snow and rain by early evening. You'll hit 48 degrees this afternoon before temperatures crash to 30 tonight. Mixed precipitation lingers until 6 A.M. Friday, then we clear out. Friday rebounds nicely to 50 under partly sunny skies. Central Montana gets the steadiest rain this afternoon — 70 percent chance with cloudy skies. High near 45 before dropping to 42 by evening. Rain flips to snow overnight as we fall to 28. Friday turns mostly sunny and breezy, climbing to 49. Western Montana catches a brief rain chance around 1 P.M. — 40 percent odds. High near 46, then down to 30 tonight with a chance of rain and snow before midnight. Friday stays mostly cloudy with a slight chance of snow, topping out at 45. Now here's where things get interesting. Saturday brings a dramatic warmup — highs jump into the upper 50s and low 60s. But that warmth comes with a price. Winds crank up Saturday afternoon, gusting to 40 or 50 miles an hour across much of the state. Sunday gets even wilder. Temperatures soar into the upper 60s, even touching 70 in some spots. But those winds intensify — widespread gusts of 50 to 60 miles an hour, possibly higher along the Rocky Mountain Front. If you're driving high-profile vehicles this weekend, plan accordingly. Monday flips the script. A cold front drops temperatures back into the 50s with rain and snow showers. That cooler, active pattern continues through midweek, with highs in the 40s and periodic snow chances. Charge your phone before this weekend. You might need those wind alerts. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    Mar 5 2026
    Good evening. Montana. I'm Aaron Jolly. That gray ceiling overhead? It's the leading edge of real change. We're sitting at 43 degrees under overcast skies right now, but a Pacific cold front is slicing through the Northern Rockies as we speak. By morning, winter makes a brief comeback. In the next 24 hours. Western Montana gets the first hit tonight. Rain develops this evening with snow levels crashing to around 3,000 feet by morning. You'll drop to a low of 34 degrees. Thursday keeps things interesting with a rain and snow mix throughout the day, topping out near 46 degrees. Central Montana sees rain rolling in overnight. Expect a low around 33 degrees as the wet stuff moves in. That rain transitions to snow by Thursday morning. Highs reach near 47 degrees, but gusts up to 22 miles an hour will make it feel raw. Eastern Montana holds onto the dry weather longest. Tonight brings mostly cloudy skies with a low near 37 degrees. Rain showers hold off until after 8 A.M. Thursday. You'll see the warmest temperatures in the state, hitting near 50 degrees. Heads up if you're traveling south. Winter Weather Advisories cover the Ruby Mountains and Southern Beaverhead Mountains through 9 A.M. Thursday. Two to four inches of snow combined with gusts to 40 miles an hour will make travel tricky over Monida Pass. Looking ahead, the weekend takes a sharp turn. Highs surge into the upper 50s and even 60s — that's running 15 to 20 degrees above normal for early March. But it comes with a price. Winds howl Saturday and Sunday, with gusts topping 50 miles an hour along the Rocky Mountain Front and foothills. Another system arrives Monday, bringing cooler air and chances for rain and snow. Tonight's full moon will have some competition from all those clouds. We saw sunrise at 6:57 this morning, sunset at 6:12 this evening. And we're gaining over three minutes of daylight every single day now. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
