Heavy Snow April 2, 2026 – April 3, 2026 · Gallatin Valley, Montana

What the National Weather Service wrote

Two reports were received with storm total amounts in excess of 6 inches, including a peak report of 9 inches 3 miles S of Bozeman.

The wider storm

An upper and mid level low just east of the region resulted in a relatively strong northwesterly flow through the column. This flow is favorable for many mountain ranges as well as upslope areas adjacent to mountains, including near Great Falls and Bozeman, which both received heavy snow. Mountain areas did not fare so well, with peak reports coming in from lower elevations.
