"Montana is included in the High Plains region in the Old Farmer's Almanac forecast, represented by cities such as Billings, as well as other metros like Bismarck and Rapid City. The region is expected to see above-normal temperatures this winter, with the coldest periods coming in mid-December, late January, and early February. Precipitation across the northern High Plains-including much of Montana-will be below normal, while southern areas will trend closer to average."
"Snowfall is also forecast to be below normal in northern Montana and near normal farther south, with the snowiest periods likely to arrive in late February and again in mid- to late March. For homeowners, this means a more manageable season: shorter cold snaps, fewer blizzards, and easier travel compared with the long, icy winters that define the northern Rockies. Still, "mild" is a relative term-it's Montana, after all-so occasional bursts of snow and subzero mornings will remain part of the mix."
Winter in Montana is expected to be mostly mild, with intermittent pockets of colder weather and snow. The High Plains region, including Billings, Bismarck, and Rapid City, should experience above-normal temperatures overall, with the coldest stretches in mid-December, late January, and early February. Precipitation will trend below normal across the northern High Plains while southern areas approach average. Northern Montana should see below-normal snowfall, with near-normal totals farther south and the snowiest windows in late February and mid- to late March. Homeowners are advised to complete autumn maintenance and safety checks before winter arrives.
