BOZEMAN – A quiet weather pattern continues for Montana as a strong blocking High-pressure ridge is parked over the Pacific NW.
Stagnant air over Montana will keep inversions alive holding pollutants close to the surface so look for more valley haze into Tuesday.
Clear skies at night and snow on the ground will also continue to allow temperatures to fall close to zero for higher elevated valleys like West Yellowstone with high sun angles and longer days afternoon temperatures are slowly climbing to near normal levels.
No major storm systems in the short term forecast so look for more of the same through the end of the week.
