Isolated showers may occur today north of I-90. Most showers will be light.

Ahead of the front, it’ll be pretty warm—most valleys should see highs in the 80s.

MISSOULA — This week, we’re in for a cooler, wetter stretch of weather conditions. A deep low pressure trough will sink into the Rocky Mountain West throughout the week and provide intervals of showers and thunderstorms. Snow levels are also dropping, which means the Anaconda Mountains and areas along the Continental Divide could see more snow—especially at elevations above 6,000 feet. If you’re headed into the backcountry, be ready for winter-like conditions.
