The National Weather Service has issued an air stagnation advisory for much of western Montana until midday Wednesday.

Weather forecasters last week announced Montana would soon get a bout of chilly weather. Details have come into better focus and this week’s wintery weather forecast is a doozy.

A few days of abnormally high temperatures are set to give way to the season’s first dash of winter weather by this time next week.

According to the latest U.S Drought Monitor map, Montana’s entire southern tier, as well a respectable slice of the state’s mid-section, is drought free. Conditions across northern Montana aren’t as encouraging.

A weather system lumbering into the Northern Rockies is expected to bring wet and substantially cooler conditions with it that will likely last through the end of the week.

Extreme heat and critical fire conditions are forecast through Thursday. Meteorologists say records could be shattered this week.
