Heavy Snow in Little Belt and Highwood Mountains, Montana

Snotel equipment at Onion Park estimated 9 inches new snow.

The latter of a few embedded shortwaves within a more broad trough across the west pivoted across the region within westerly flow aloft. Snow showers were the initial concern at higher elevation locations before a trowal pivoted southwestward toward the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountain Front. Eventually this better forcing shifted southeastward toward the Central Montana mountains.
