And yet another frigid morning with lows in the single digits. The temperature models are sure underestimating the low temperatures. The center of the high pressure has moved east into western Montana. This will make way for a frontal system to bring snow to the mountains tonight. Snow with warmer temperatures can be anticipated tonight and tomorrow.
Long-term: It is looking good for another active weather pattern to develop over the weekend and lasting through most of next week. Yes, more snow on the way.
