Long Duration Arctic Blast Next Week

Here is an update on a dangerously cold weather pattern set to hit Montana beginning Sunday and continue throughout most of next week.
An Arctic cold front is expected to drop through Montana on Sunday. Pacific moisture will also move into Montana producing widespread snow. Gusty winds are likely as the Arctic front drops through Montana. This will bring dangerous travel conditions to Montana Sunday into Monday. Snowfall of 2" to 4" is possible with heavier snow in higher elevations, wind will be increasing Sunday into Monday 15 to 30 with gusts to 40 mph, wind chill values of -15 to -30 are possible, considerable blowing and drifting snow is also likely Sunday and Monday.
High pressure will build into Montana beginning Monday night clearing skies and settling the gusty winds down. However, the combination of valley snow, clear skies and Arctic air digging into most valleys forecast lows will be well below zero beginning Tuesday morning. National Weather Service office in Missoula is predicting a low of -41 below for Butte by Tuesday morning and with a light 5 mph NE wind the "Feels Like" temperature could be closer to -60. Bozeman area could see lows drop down to or lower than -25 below and possible wind chills down to or lower than -30 below zero.
It's been about 20 years since the last long duration extreme cold event, according to the National Weather Service, the last time temperatures were this cold and for over a week was back in 1998.
Forecast models perform poorly when it comes to extreme events like this so narrowing down exact lows out several days ahead of the deep cold Arctic air arriving is difficult to say the least. In this attached video forecast I will walk you through the local 7 day forecasts and show you my forecast highs and lows for next week. Please keep in mind that over the next 3 days we will likely continue to adjust these numbers (most likely colder) with updated forecast model data.
Now is the time to prepare livestock, homes and automobiles for the extreme weather change coming next week. I can't emphasize enough that this is a dangerous weather pattern coming to Montana. Please adjust travel plans and limit your exposure to the extreme cold as much as possible.
