Fairly significant snow event looks like is going to develop across northwestern Wyoming into central Montana. Models show this event ongoing for 48 hours +/- beginning early Tuesday timeframe. Travel likely to require frequent chaining across I-90 between Billings and Butte. Early in the season, there is little residual salt to assist snow melt.
Cross country runners to/from the northwest might want to think about running 80/84 as an alternative to traversing Montana this early to mid week. Your "point of no return" divergent point later may have already been passed if headed west (Chicago). But be advised, regardless.
Temperatures will still be relatively warm. Night time travel across the higher passes will be the most problematic. A lot of moisture. Hopefully temperatures will be warm enough to keep snow accumulations short lived and only a problem during and shortly after the heaviest precipitation events.

^^^ Did not know that. It's been a few months since I've ran across there. We're coming into that time of year where mysterious forces will collude and somehow I'll end up running across I-90 one direction or another, 2-4 times a month
