Temperatures are on a steady increase from here for awhile. We will see 40s, 50s, and even 60s in some parts through Thursday as we gradually warm. Low temperatures will increase as well over the next few days from the teens and 20s to 20s and 30s by mid week. We will see a good amount of snow and ice melt off the roads making favorable driving conditions for the remaining of the weekend and into this week. Minimal clouds will be present over the next few days with exception for the southwest corner, National Park area, that will incur snow showers Monday night into Tuesday morning. There is a slight chance of isolated showers over the northern Wyoming state border at this time as well but will stay mostly in Montana.
