Montana, Wyoming Brace for Snow, Cold Temps While Much of the U.S. Sizzles
WU ^ | August 22, 2014 | By Linda Lam

While much of the U.S. will swelter in heat and humidity this weekend, it will feel more like fall, or even winter, for much of Montana and Wyoming.

An unseasonably cold low pressure system is expected to bring below-average temperatures to the northern Rockies through early next week. Temperatures will be up to 35 degrees below average in some locations this weekend. Glacier National Park may not even reach 50 degrees for a high on Saturday.

In fact, low temperatures will drop below freezing in the higher elevations, leading to the chance for the first snow of the season to fall. In West Glacier, Montana, the average date for the first temperature below 32 degrees is Sept. 13, so the cold conditions are about three weeks ahead of schedule.

(FORECAST: Glacier National Park | Yellowstone National Park)

There is abundant moisture with this system that will bring rain to the region with snow possible in the higher elevations. There will be gusty winds as well. The cold rain will be heavy at times and enhanced by deepening upslope flow on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains.

Snow accumulations will generally be a few inches or less, and the snow is expected to melt quickly. Up to 5 inches of snow is possible at the highest elevations through Sunday.

Snow levels will lower to near 6,500 feet in Glacier National Park, with light accumulations possible at Logan Pass. The higher peaks of the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming could see about 3 inches of snow by Sunday.

considering this past 6 months ... I wouldn't even TRY to guess at the winter around here ... except the word, "winter" will be used for the months of Dec thru Feb.

Maybe even November thru March ... or until the phoney groundhog .... never mind.

Winter is comin' ... just don't know when nor what it'll be like.

It was a little rainy here in northern Colorado today, but we usually don’t expect snow til the end of September.

Here in South Jersey, I don’t think we have had any day hitting triple digits, only a handful of days in the 90’s. Most between 75-85 degrees.

I retired this year from teaching.

We had so many snow days that we were in school until June 25th.

Have to remember to send my kids in NC some ice cleats.

Wish I had these while I was down there last winter. Nothing worse than ice. Love snow. Powder, anyway.

Its been really hot here in Alabama this week, but this summer has been pretty mild. We had two lovely cool spells. We are definitely headed for a cold winter. My horses are starting to hair up. It’s real early for that. Plus the trees are losing leaves already.
