Lots of snow is headed for our higher elevations this week. Very cold temperatures will affect just about all of Montana and Winter Storm Watches are in effect for several counties.
Yes, heavy snow is possible this weekend but most of it will fall above downtown Bozeman level. We talked about 6" possible IN TOWN but that doesn't look to be the case now.
Southern Gallatin and Madison counties will see snow and wind this weekend with up to 10 inches possible and gusts up to 35 mph. High elevations will be most affected.
We've got a Winter Storm Watch for the Bozeman area! The surrounding mountains are expected to receive several inches of snow...perhaps up to a FOOT by Thursday morning. Are you ready to shovel?
Monday could be quite messy with several inches of snow expected in the lower elevations, more than a foot possible in the highest elevations and very gusty winds.
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!
