The local office's own words before this winter weather advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 7, 11:17 AM MST, 2 hours 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Great Falls MT
1117 AM MST Sun Mar 7 2021

...AVIATION SECTION UPDATED...

.SYNOPSIS...

Scattered mountain snow showers are possible along the Divide from
late this morning through early this evening, but otherwise a dry
and mild day is store for the remaining locations across
Southwest through North Central Montana. A fast moving disturbance
will then impact the region Monday through Tuesday. Marginal
temperatures over this timeframe will allow precipitation to start
initially as rain before transitioning to snow Monday night.

&&

.UPDATE...

The morning update has been published. Only minor adjustments
were done to sky grids and patchy fog in the southwest per current
trends. Generally expecting a quiet day today, though there will
be a few snow showers along the Divide through this evening.
Cooler and unsettled weather returns for Monday, along with the
potential for accumulating snow. RCG

&&

.AVIATION...
1117 AM MST Sun Mar 7 2021 (07/18Z TAF period)

VFR conditions continue for much of the TAF period, though there
will be mountain obscuring scattered snow showers along the Divide
through this evening. After a brief period of partial clearing,
middle and higher level cloudiness begins to increase tonight as the
next Pacific system approaches from the southwest. Snow develops
along the Rocky Mountain Front and adjacent plains Monday morning,
resulting in possible MVFR/IFR conditions at KCTB toward the end of
the TAF period. This activity will likely move into central/north-
central areas and impact KHLN, KGTF later Monday afternoon and
evening. RCG

Refer to weather.gov/zlc for more detailed regional aviation
weather and hazard information.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 315 AM MST Sun Mar 7 2021/

Today through tonight...transient ridging between the departing
shortwave to the northeast and longwave trough/closed low over the
Eastern Pacific will move over the Northern Rockies from this
morning and through the early afternoon hours today. This pattern
will bring relatively dry (with the exception of the Rocky Mountain
Front and far eastern mountains of Beaverhead County) and mild
conditions to most of the CWA for the day today; however,
temperatures will be some 5 to 10 degrees cooler than on Saturday.
Scattered snow showers will be possible from late this morning and
through the early evening hours tonight along the Continental Divide
as weak mid-level warm air advection lifts northeast across the
region, which could lead to snow accumulations of up to 2" in these
mountainous areas. Breezy south to southwest winds this afternoon
will gradually decrease during the evening hours tonight, and back
to the east to northerly over the plains of Central and North
Central Montana near sunrise on Monday as a surface low begins to
develop near Yellowstone National Park. - Moldan

Monday through Tuesday night...this period will be the most
impactful timeframe over the next seven day, with accumulating
precipitation expected over most of the CWA. Surface low developing
near Yellowstone National Park late tonight/Monday morning will move
northeast into Southeastern Montana by Monday night, and eventually
Eastern North Dakota by Tuesday morning. Low level flow will back to
the east to north over the plains of Central and North Central
Montana in response to the surface and mid-level low tracks, which
will provide ideal upslope conditions along the eastern and northern
slopes of the Rocky Mountain Front and Central Montana mountains.
Marginal temperatures in the upper 30s to low 40s during the day on
Monday at lower elevations will likely allow precipitation to begin
as rain or a rain/snow mix; however, cold air advecting into the
region late Monday afternoon and evening will then allow
precipitation to become all snow. Additionally, a narrow, but
intense area of mid-level frontogenesis will pivot across portions
of Southwest through Central Montana from late Monday morning
through Tuesday evening. This narrow, but intense area of mid-level
frontogenesis will likely lead to a narrower corridor (give or take
50 miles) of QPF amounts approaching 0.25" to 0.5" (falling as
primarily all snow given dynamic cooling processes) across this
region (i.e. generally along a line from Wisdom, to Helena, to
Belt). I am concerned that areas beneath the most intense
precipitation during this fast hitting storm could see snowfall
accumulations of 3-6", but given the marginal surface temperatures
and antecedent warm ground I am unsure as to how much snow will
accumulate on road surfaces. Given this uncertainty I have held off
on any winter highlights for now, but should the forecast trend
colder or confidence increase that impactful snow accumulations will
occur on roads then winter weather highlights will likely be needed.
Precipitation will gradually wind down Tuesday morning over North
Central Montana, and Tuesday afternoon over Southwest Montana. -
Moldan

Wednesday through next Sunday...temperatures will slowly moderate
through the rest of the work week despite large scale troughing
remaining in place over the Western CONUS. Temperatures briefly warm
well above normal on Saturday as transient ridging moves across the
Northern Rockies, with temperatures then falling back near normal on
Sunday. - Moldan
