Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North-Central Montana
National Weather Service Great Falls MT
1253 AM MST Tue Nov 25 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Unsettled northwest flow aloft will help to maintain daily chances
for precipitation, mainly in the form of snow and and most notable
over the mountains. Best chance for widespread accumulating snow
looks to arrive on Thanksgiving and persist into the day on
Friday. High temperatures will be near to below normal through
the remainder of the work week, with temperatures falling well
below normal through the weekend. - Moldan
