Billings, MT – A Canadian cold front is set to bring light snow to Montana today, with the heaviest impact expected late tonight into Thanksgiving morning. Travelers along I-90 should prepare for reduced visibility and potentially slick roads as conditions worsen overnight.
According to the National Weather Service in Billings, snow will begin in the northern and eastern parts of the state tonight, gradually shifting to central Montana by Thanksgiving Day. Snow accumulation is expected to remain under one inch, but drivers may encounter areas of poor visibility. With temperatures dropping to the mid-20s overnight and winds reaching 7 mph, icy spots could develop quickly.
Thanksgiving Day will see temperatures peak at 28°F under partly sunny skies, with calmer conditions expected by the afternoon. However, motorists should continue to exercise caution, especially during early morning travel hours when roadways could still be icy.
Looking ahead, the weather for Friday and Saturday is expected to remain dry but cold, with highs in the low-30s and lows dipping into the teens. Partly cloudy skies will dominate through the weekend, making it a favorable stretch for post-holiday travel and outdoor activities.
If you’re traveling through the Billings area or along key routes like I-90, allow extra time for your commute and ensure your vehicle is equipped for winter conditions. For the latest updates, visit the National Weather Service’s website or follow local alerts.
