At least a dozen counties have some sort of Wind Advisory or Winter Weather Advisory in effect for this weekend with wind gusts up to 60 MPH in some locations.
Our mountains are getting another round of snow, with up to 10 inches near Homestake Pass and Georgetown Lake. The high elevations around Bozeman are only supposed to see up to 5" by Tuesday morning.
Yellowstone National Park is the poster child for winter this week with frigid temps and TONS of fresh snow. The next storm could bring 16 more inches of new snow by Friday night in the Park.
Southern Gallatin and Madison counties continue to get lots of snowfall and the Winter Weather Advisory now continues until 5am Saturday morning with several more inches of fresh snow possible.
Gallatin County will get up to 5" of snow and very gusty winds through Monday night until about 9am Tuesday morning. Even small amounts of snow combined with wind will create poor visibility.
Hopefully this next snowy front will dump significant snow in western Montana. Areas west of Whitefish to Missoula are expecting several inches of fresh snow by Thursday morning.
Well, Fall in Montana was nice. Northern Montana may see over a foot of snow by mid-day Wednesday with a fresh Winter Weather Advisory. Strong winds could make this storm quite dangerous.
We've never prayed this hard for snow. Snow is expected Monday evening above 6,000 feet and would be a most welcome sight. The Bridger Foothills Fire has ravage Bridger Canyon all weekend.
High elevations and mountain passes could see over 6 inches of fresh snow with a Winter Weather Advisory in effect. The valleys will see significant rain showers and much cooler temperatures.
Southern Madison and Gallatin counties could see 5" or more above 6500 feet by mid-day Saturday. Slippery roads may be an issue if you're traveling south to Idaho.
Another layer of snow, along with gusty winds, are headed to southwest Montana with several inches of snow possible in the valleys and up to 10" possible in the mountains.
