BILLINGS — Watch out for icy and slick roads along with patches of fog Monday morning which could impact your commute. Slow down and take it easy.
Monday will be mostly dry through early afternoon and warmer with highs pushing into the 40s and 50s. From there, we return to an active weather pattern for the rest of the week.
Chances for precipitation will begin to move back into our western counties by Monday afternoon as a trough approaches. This will transition into an upper level low that will increase precipitation chances Monday night through Wednesday. Area mountains could receive over a foot of snow by Wednesday. Winter Storm Warnings, Watches, and Advisories will be in effect for portions of the area.
It will be mainly rain in the lower elevations through Tuesday evening with some snow mixing in at times. This will transition to all snow late Tuesday into late Wednesday morning then back to rain Wednesday afternoon.
