MOLDENHAUER NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES and less than the usual of snowfall is the outlook for Montana and northern Wyoming in the next eighteen days. The first week of February is due for considerable dry and moderate weather. Thereafter we can expect more frequent changes, minor snow storms and cold air invasions. Some of the main moisture-producing storms this month are expected to concentrate on the Pacific coast. Others will cross the southern Plains from the southwest storm track, leaving Montana and Wyoming too far out of range for significant amounts of precipitation.
