As Montana approaches the official start of fall, temperatures are dropping significantly across the state.
Overnight lows are forecast to dip into the 20s in West Yellowstone, the 30s in Butte and Dillon, and the 40s in cities like Billings, Missoula, Helena, Great Falls, and Bozeman.

Impact & Risks

The colder overnight temperatures could pose risks for those without adequate heating, particularly in areas like West Yellowstone where lows are expected to reach the 20s. Agricultural operations may also be affected by the sudden drop in temperatures. The anticipated thunderstorms later in the week could bring localized flooding, strong winds, and lightning, especially in central and western Montana. Residents should remain alert to changing weather conditions and potential hazards.
