Don't take off your snow tires quite yet, Billings.

Late winter in Montana can certainly be unpredictable. We've been enjoying spring-like conditions the past couple of weeks, but this weekend we'll get a reminder from Mother Nature that winter is far from over. The National Weather Service in Billings is predicting up to 4 inches of snowfall on Friday and Saturday.

Single-digit temps return.

A Winter Storm Watch has been issued, beginning at 6 am on Friday, January 27 through Saturday afternoon. The fast-moving storm could dump up to 8 inches of snow in some areas across south central Montana, including the Billings area. Temperatures will continue to plummet into next week, with a high around 16 on Saturday followed by highs in the single digits on Monday. Overnight lows will be around -15 Monday night.
