The tug of war between winter and summer continues. Following high temperatures yesterday in the 40s and 50s F, overnight air temps stayed above freezing only dropping into the upper 30s F. Cloudy skies overnight likely prevented any radiational refreezing of the snowpack. Light winds this morning are coming from the southwest 
An approaching trough of low pressure will bring a little bit of everything in today’s weather. Temperatures should warm to either side of 40° F this morning before cooling this afternoon when a cold front finally passes overhead bringing cold air by the end of the day. 
Winds will increase this afternoon blowing 15-20 mph gusting in the 30s mostly from the southwest but switching to the west-northwest in the mountains near Bozeman.  Cloudy skies will be spitting rain and snow (mostly snow in the mountains) this morning. A bit more snow should fall this afternoon with most areas receiving an inch or so. A few places like maybe near Cooke City and the northern Gallatin Range could get 2-4 inches by tonight, but your guess is as good as mine.
