March weather forecast
Montana, USA

March signals a transition towards spring in Montana, yet winter weather still prominently influences the state's climate. The month sees a gradual increase in temperatures but remains relatively cold, particularly in the eastern part of the state, influenced by its semi-arid, continental climate.

The minimum temperature in March ranges from 15°F (-9.4°C) to 25°F (-3.9°C), and the maximum temperature varies between 40°F (4.4°C) and 50°F (10°C). The western region typically experiences milder weather due to its northern Pacific coastal climate, contrasting with the colder eastern region.

Snowfall continues to be a significant feature in March, especially in the mountains, although it tends to decrease in the prairies and lowlands. Accumulations of snow can still be considerable in many areas, and the mountain ranges may receive additional snowfall, contributing to the annual totals.

Compared to February, March brings a further easing of winter's grip, with temperatures slowly rising and the days beginning to lengthen. The contrast between the western and eastern parts of Montana remains pronounced, reflecting the state's varied topography and climatic regions.

Chinook winds can still influence the weather, occasionally raising temperatures, especially in areas east of the mountains. The winds may cause rapid changes in weather, reflecting the state's dynamic and complex climate.
