This morning, temperatures are near 30 degrees F with 5-15 mph winds from the west and southwest. Clear skies overnight allowed longwave radiation to escape into the atmosphere and snow surfaces to refreeze.
Today, temperatures will be 10 degrees F warmer than yesterday, with highs nearing 50 F in Cooke City and rising well into the 50s F across the rest of the forecast area. Winds will be 5-15 mph from the west and southwest. A few clouds will move into the area this evening, but the change in weather arrives tomorrow afternoon when low pressure arrives from Canada and with it, colder temperatures and a chance for more than a foot of new snow.
