BILLINGS — A change back to wintry weather happens over the weekend.
Easterly winds will increase across the plains, and snow will start to develop across much of northern Montana. A few showers and flurries are expected for us across Southern Montana and Northern Wyoming.

Expect a cold morning Monday, warmer and drier Tuesday, and the potential for more unsettled weather later next week.
