Most areas got about one inch of snow yesterday. This morning temperatures were in the teens F with 10-15 mph westerly winds. A brief ridge will bring mostly sunny skies today before an unsettled weather pattern with moisture and cold temperatures arrives this weekend. Today high temperatures will be near freezing and winds will blow 5-15 mph from the W.

Winter came back but only delivered a trace to one inch of snow yesterday afternoon. This morning mountain temperatures were near 10 degrees F and winds were blowing 10-20 mph from the NW. Today should have clouds, a little sun, and a little snow with temperatures in the high teens to low 20s F. Winds should decrease a little today. We should only get about an inch of snow by tomorrow morning.

Who would’ve thought it snowed 16 inches last night?! Well, no one. It’s April Fools. But five inches at Bridger Bowl and Big Sky? Now that’s real. Everywhere else got two to three inches of new snow except West Yellowstone which got missed.

It started snowing at midnight as temperatures dropped into the upper teens and winds spiked to 60 mph out of the west. Speeds have calmed substantially and are now averaging 10-20mph with gusts of 35. Today will become partly cloudy with scattered snow showers dropping another inch by morning. Mountain temperatures will remain cool and only reach the low 30s as winds remain westerly at 10-25 mph.

It did not freeze in the mountains last night and temperatures are in the upper 30s to low 40s. Skies are partly cloudy with ridgetop winds from the southwest averaging 10-15 mph with gusts to 25 mph. Today will be warm and mostly sunny with temperatures getting to 50F before a cold front arrives this evening. Ahead of the front, winds will increase and rain will fall before tuning to snow with temperatures dropping into the high teens. By morning I expect 2-3 inches of snow.

At 4 a.m. mountain temperatures are in the upper 20s to low 30s F and winds are blowing 10-20 mph out the west. Today, a building ridge of high pressure will produce mostly sunny skies and warm temps. Highs today will warm into the upper 40s to low 50s F and winds will remain light to moderate out of the west. High pressure will dominate the weather pattern over the next 24 hours, but a storm system is forecasted to impact the area Tuesday night into Wednesday bringing valley rain and mountain snow.

The storm system that blew through yesterday created some wild conditions. Wind gusts up to 70 mph were recorded in many locations. Precipitation was light, but most areas picked up a trace to one inch of snow with Carrot Basin in the southern Madison Range picking up 2-3 inches. Conditions have calmed significantly this morning and winds are blowing 10-20 mph out W-SW. Temperatures are in upper teens to low 20s F under clear skies. Today, a building ridge of high pressure will produce mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures. Highs today will climb into the 60s in the valley and 40s F in mountains. Winds will remain light to moderate out of the W-SW. High pressure will dominate the weather pattern over the next few days.

This morning temperatures range from the mid-30s to low 40s F under mostly clear skies. Winds are blowing 15-30 mph out of the W-SW. Today, a weak weather disturbance will push into the region producing gusty winds and mostly cloudy skies. There is a slight chance for a mountain rain shower this afternoon. Temperatures will warm into the mid to upper 40s F today, but will drop as the storm system moves over the area. Winds will increase out of the W-SW throughout the day with gusts upwards of 40 mph possible with the frontal passage.

Yesterday morning the mountains near Bozeman received a trace of precipitation, rain or snow depending on elevation. Temperatures this morning were a few degrees either side of freezing under clear but warm skies. Near Bozeman gusty winds were blowing 20-35 mph from the W and 10-25 mph from the W in all other areas. Today will be mostly sunny and mountain temperatures could reach 50 degrees F in some places. Winds will blow 10-20 mph from the W.

Since yesterday morning 1-2 inches of snow fell near Bozeman and Big Sky where temperatures were in the mid 20s F with westerly winds blowing 15-30 mph. Further south this morning, temperatures were a few degrees cooler and westerly winds were blowing 10-20 mph. Today will have clouds and some sunshine this afternoon. Temperatures will warm into hi 30s to low 40s F and winds will blow 10-20 from the W. A ridge of high pressure will move over the area tomorrow bringing warm temperatures and more sunshine.

Since yesterday morning the mountains got hit with another round of snowfall: 4” in the Bridger Range; 6” up Hyalite; 10” at the Yellowstone Club; 4” in Taylor’s Fork and 2-3” around West Yellowstone and Cooke City. This morning mountain temperatures are in the high teens with winds blowing out of the west at 10-20 mph. Snowfall will taper off in the next few hours and the day will clear before more clouds roll in bringing just a few flurries tonight. High pressure will build over the next couple days with record high temperatures forecasted on Friday.
