Enjoy Friday while it lasts. The National Weather Service has Great Falls at 82 degrees Friday afternoon. Then a Pacific cold front Friday night and a surge of Canadian air on Saturday drop the high to 47 on Saturday and 37 on Sunday.

Rain and snow arrive Saturday, and it turns to light snow Saturday night. Forecasters expect a few inches in Great Falls and Helena, and mountain passes could get much more, mostly Saturday night into Sunday morning.

Before it turns

  • Friday carries a from noon to 9 p.m., with gusts up to 45 mph and humidity as low as 14%. Skip the burn pile.
  • Saturday night's big plans are indoors: the Great Falls Symphony opens its season, and the animal shelter's comedy night is on. Both are in Things to Do.
