BOZEMAN – A fall like weather pattern continues with cooler than normal temperatures through the rest of this week and well below normal temperatures this weekend into early next week.

Increasing wet weather is likely late weekend into the first half of next week and we are keeping a close eye on updated forecast models as they are hinting at low snow levels by Monday. It’s still too early for specific details so please keep checking back in with KBZK and your STORMTracker Weather team for updates on changes coming soon.

A “Harvest Moon” occurs tonight. This is the first full moon closest to the Fall Equinox. The full moon will rise shortly after sunset and as the name suggests this will aid farmers still trying to harvest crops in SW Montana with the added moonlight.
