Mother nature’s going to throw a curveball over the next few days, just after most of us in the neighborhood were getting used to this balmy weather. Gallatin Field near Bozeman hit 80 on Tuesday and yesterday– that’s ‘blow out my favorite river warm’.
The curveball pitch is a cool and moist weather system moving into the area today; cool and wet enough to get a winter weather warning planted on some of the mountain country between here and Yellowstone and snow back in the forecast even for Bozeman.
Cool enough to slow the water roaring down out of the hills and dirtying the rivers? Maybe, though it probably depends on how much falls as rain and where it falls. Right now it doesn’t look cold enough to reverse the early run off in progress in the southwestern part of the state.
Cool, overcast, and showers – sounds like BWO and streamer weather to me if you can find fishable water. Time to renew your friendship with the tailwaters around – Lower Madison, the upper Upper Madison, Missouri, and Big Horn, and time to keep a sharp eye on flows on your favorite waters.
