Temperatures are expected to plummet beginning early next week with highs in the 30s and lows in the 20s. A mixture of rain and snow is possible, so be sure to take it slow if temperatures are below freezing as road surfaces could become slick.

If you're driving back to Montana after Thanksgiving, the chance of snow increases on Saturday and Sunday. Slow down and take your time if you encounter a snow storm while driving.

We've been fairly lucky so far this season and have been enjoyed to enjoy above-average temperatures, but things can change in an instant, especially in Montana.

Safe travels, and Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow Montanans.
