The National Weather Service is issuing a Winter Weather Advisory for the Bozeman area until noon tomorrow. We know how that turned out for us last weekend as far as snow accumulation is concerned. However, this week, how much snow accumulation we get is really secondary to the extremely cold temperatures we're expecting. Temperatures seem to be easier to predict than snow. So, here's what's expected for the next few days:

Mon: Hi  23  Low 7

Tue:  Hi  10  Low -4

Wed: Hi  11  Low 2

Thu: Hi  26  Low 15

Fri: Hi 26    Low  11

Sat (Bobcat Home Game) Hi  27  Low 14

...Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 6 PM this evening to noon MST Monday...

The National Weather Service in Great Falls has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for snow and blowing snow...which is in effect from 6 PM this evening to noon MST Monday.

* Timing and main impact: a strong Canadian cold front will move south through central and southwest Montana this evening...ushering in very cold air and widespread snow through Monday.

* Snow accumulations: snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches is expected in the valleys with 3 to 6 inches in the mountains.

* Winds...temperatures and visibility: gusty north winds of 15 to 25 mph are expected behind the front...with temperatures rapidly dropping into the teens. Snow and blowing snow will likely limit visibility below one half mile for a period tonight.

* Other impacts: windy conditions and cold temperatures will combine to create very cold wind chills. Gusty north winds behind the front will particularly impact the Norris Hill and Monida Pass areas with a period of blowing snow tonight.

* Locations affected include: Bozeman...Dillon...Helena...Three Forks...Townsend...Ennis...Norris Hill...Monida Pass.
