Not a lot of snow will fall in the mountains, however, passes such as Lolo, Lookout and Marias may see some slick spots develop especially Thursday morning and evening.
Drier and warmer air starts moving in Friday as a high pressure ridge builds. Expect mostly to partly cloudy skies Friday with highs in the 50s.
