A couple of disturbances moved through the area bringing isolated to scattered
showers for the lower elevations with numerous snow showers for the mountains. The main trough moved into western Montana Saturday, reaching Central Montana by early evening and eastern Montana after midnight. The associated strong Canadian cold front moved south of the border during the morning, reaching near a Helena to Harlowton line by late afternoon.  Strong winds were expected with the Canadian cold front over the Rockies and surface pressure falls in Alberta helped to strengthen down-slope flow along the Rocky Mountain Front. High winds developed east of the Rockies in a few locations as a result. A winter storm warning was put into effect above 5000 feet for the Rocky Mountain Front and some locations a little further south. A winter weather advisory was issued for the Little Belt Mountains and selected mountains and passes over southwest Montana into Sunday. A winter weather advisory for lower elevations of the Northern Rocky Mountain Front was issued into Sunday as well.
