Weather

What was supposed to be a rainy day has turned out to be a snowy day in Bozeman and southwest Montana in general. Up to 4" of fresh snow could fall in town, with up to 9" of snow in the southern mountains by Thursday night.

Yellowstone National Park is supposed to get hammered with snow and wind on Thursday. Very gusty winds combined with several inches of snow will make for dangerous conditions in the park and the surrounding areas. High elevations are expecting the most snow.

Here's what to expect when it comes to extreme heat and heavy rain this summer.

Areas near Billings and south to Wyoming border will continue to see snow, wind, and poor driving conditions until midnight tonight. Some area will have accumulated 7 fresh inches of snow by Sunday night.

It's been one of the most challenging winters in Montana for avalanche conditions. Weak early snowpack in several parts of Montana started off the season with a terrible base. Warm conditions, then large snow dumps haven't made for a stable back country experience for most of the season.

More snow this afternoon into this evening for the Beartooth Foothills and the area surrounding Red Lodge. Another 6 inches of fresh snow could fall by midnight.

10 more inches of snow could land in southwest Montana mountains by Wednesday evening. Madison and Gallatin counties are the target of this next round of snowy weather.

Yet another round of big snow has fallen on southwest Montana, hitting the southern mountains especially hard with another foot of snow. An Avalanche Warning has been issued again by the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center, as the danger of triggering a deadly avalanche is high.

Montana is no stranger to natural and man-made disasters. We take a look at the 8 biggest in the state.

Montana's snowfall levels were off to a very slow start this winter, and remained well below average for months. However, a few recent heavy storms have dumped significant amounts of snow across most of Montana's western half, improving the water situation.

Mark your calendars! Daylight saving time will be here soon, so remember to move your clocks an hour ahead. Longer days and warmer weather are on the way!

Tuesday into Wednesday morning could bring 40 MPH winds and much more snow for the southern mountains of Madison and Gallatin counties. The West Yellowstone area is an area of concern, with the high peaks of that area to get up to a foot of fresh snow.
