We are also going to have mostly clear skies tonight with just a couple stray snow and rain showers around along the Continental Divide.
For tomorrow, we are going to have partly cloudy skies with just a couple stray mountain snow and rain showers around as a disturbance begins to approach our area. We are then going to have a chance to see a few snow and rain showers tomorrow night and Wednesday, generally in the mountains and in northeastern Montana, as this disturbance passes through our area. We are also going to have partly to mostly cloudy skies tomorrow night and partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies on Wednesday.
It is also going to be mild tomorrow and Wednesday, although it is going to be a bit cooler than it was today, as highs are going to be in the 40s and low to mid 50s in most locations.
