This week is turning out to be the epitome of winter in Montana with lots of snow, wind and advisories galore. DANGEROUS winds are possible through Thursday especially in the higher elevations.

A chance of snow persists today with the tail end of this storm bringing sub-zero temperatures this morning.

All of Southwest Montana is facing a Winter Storm Watch until 5pm on Wednesday with the the valleys facing up to 10 inches of snow and the mountains facing 20 inches possible!

Temperatures may be warmer than what we've suffered through for the last week, but Gallatin County will see some fresh snow this weekend.

Another round of snow and wind is headed for Gallatin and Madison counties. Tuesday morning could be snowy but more concerning is possible gusty winds shifty the snow that has ALREADY fallen.

Wind more then moisture (although snow is in the forecast) is going to be the problem across much of Montana today including the Bozeman area.

Cold temperatures, some snow and more wind are going to affect most of Montana through Monday. Great Falls and Helena are both under Advisories with more Warnings and Advisories expected.

Helena is also expected to have periods of nasty weather overnight tonight with a Winter Weather Advisory in effect through Monday morning.

Several inches of much needed snow could fall Thursday over mountain passes and ski areas just in time for the beginning of the season.

More towns in eastern Montana will be feeling the effects of a strong front Monday and Tuesday. Snow and strong winds may create very dangerous travel conditions for the Miles City area.

Scobey, Wolf Point, Circle and Terry will all be affected on Monday and Tuesday by a Winter Storm Watch for snow and blowing snow.

Montana travelers may encounter some nasty weather in the higher elevations on Wednesday evening. If you're hitting the road early for Thanksgiving, keep a keen eye on the forecast details.
