Quick Montana Weather Update (NS)

[killmnl]

Sometime back, several asked when is the latest snow you've seen in Montana in a thread.

I mentioned being snowed on in Yellowstone in late June. Here is an example of what is forecast for early next week along the Rocky Mountain front in western Montana including Glacier National Park. There are advisories like this one from West Yellowstone to the Canadian border. Thought you might like to know this if planning an early summer visit in the future.
