Missoula prepares for a potentially wet St. Patrick's Day Parade this Saturday, as unpredictable weather looms with chances of rain and snow in the forecast.

According to Weather.com, Western Montana is looking at high temperatures for this Saturday and Sunday in the upper teens with overnight lows zero to just below zero.

According to Trent Smith, of the National Weather Service there is a chance that we will be seeing 'La Niña' type conditions

This system isn't expected to bring a lot as far as accumulation, but we may see areas of freezing rain, which can cause hazardous driving conditions.

With the amount of moisture that can come from this system, there is a potential for rock and mudslides.

The National Weather Service has issued a forecast indicating that the mountains will see snow from today, Thursday, October 31 through Saturday, November 2.

Most of the temperature change is expected to be focused in Western Montana, the eastern part of the state looks to continue with the above average temperatures.

The National Weather Service has issued a High Wind Warning for parts of Western Montana from 4 pm until to 11 pm this evening.

This, to me, seems almost like a perfect forecast. There is snow in the forecast for all the people that recreate in the winter without the brutal cold.
