Another wave of moisture and energy will move through the region tonight.  Rain and snow are possible, with accumulations around Butte.  West Yellowstone may see up to 2 inches with a mix in the Missoula, Kalispell and Bozeman areas.  If temperatures drop a degree or two from expected lows, then slushy accumulations are possible about anywhere.  Lows tonight in the 30s.
