winter storm watch

By Friday night, we could see 6 fresh inches of snow in the higher elevations of several Montana counties.

Some parts of southern Montana may get up to 10 fresh inches of snow this weekend. Southern Gallatin County, the Beartooth Foothills and the Red Lodge areas should be the winners of the end-of-season storm.

Montana is being full-on Montana this week with up to 14 inches of snow possible by Friday afternoon in the higher elevations from Helena up to Glacier National Park. Lower valleys could see up to 5 inches of snow.

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.

They say spring snow in Montana keeps the Murder Hornets away. Or something. HIGH ELEVATIONS could see a foot of snow by Wednesday morning.

Another very significant round of snow is headed for Gallatin County and will bring gusty winds up to 40 mph too.

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.

The HIGHEST elevations of Gallatin, Beaverhead and Madison counties could get well over 18" of snow and wind chills of -10 this weekend.

Southwest Montana is in for another round of heavy snow, VERY gusty winds and dangerous travel through Monday morning.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch from late Wednesday night through Friday morning.

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?
