Portions of central Idaho and western Montana have a high (greater than 80%) probability to receive at least measurable snow between Thursday evening and Friday evening this week. Elevations above 4000 feet have the highest probabilities for accumulating snow.

Winter weather and heavy snow is possible in parts of western and central Montana the coming days. Six to 10 inches of snow could fall Thursday night through Friday night in mountain passes in Cascade, Judith Basin, Jefferson, Meagher, and Lewis and Clark counties.

Nearby counties along the Rocky Mountain Front and in Beaverhead, Madison and Gallatin counties could also see several inches of snow, mostly in areas above 5,000 feet.
