The cold front will bring strong winds and cooler temperatures, impacting areas across the Northern Rockies, including northwest Montana. Wind gusts of up to 45 mph are expected, particularly in the Missoula/Bitterroot Valleys, Flathead/Mission Valleys, and Kootenai/Cabinet Region. Mountain areas may experience light snow, which could create slippery conditions. Visitors to Glacier National Park’s backcountry should be cautious of hypothermia risks due to wet and windy conditions combined with colder temperatures.
