Billings, Montana – A warmer-than-normal February pattern is expected to take hold across Montana through late week, easing winter’s grip and limiting chances for widespread snowfall. While winter conditions are far from over, the overall setup favors quieter weather compared to what’s typical for this time of year.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, the 6–10 day outlook from February 10–14 favors above-normal temperatures across much of Montana, with precipitation probabilities near normal. That combination points to a lower risk of significant snow events, even as occasional light snow remains possible.
In eastern and central Montana, including Billings, Miles City, and Lewistown, daytime highs are expected to run above seasonal averages, with overnight lows less extreme than recent cold spells. Western Montana, including Missoula and Kalispell, may still see brief periods of snow, but accumulations are expected to remain limited under the milder pattern. Major routes such as Interstate 90, Interstate 94, and U.S. Highway 2 are expected to see fewer winter-related disruptions.
Mountain passes could still experience slick conditions during overnight temperature drops, and residents should remain cautious during early morning travel. Melting during the day followed by refreezing at night may lead to isolated icy spots.
This warmer-than-normal, low-impact pattern is expected to persist through late week, though forecasters note conditions could change if colder air returns to the Northern Rockies. Additional updates or advisories may be issued if snow chances increase.
