winter weather advisory

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.

A fresh round of snow will cover the Kalispell area and Mission Valley on Sunday evening, continuing through Monday morning prompting a Winter Weather Advisory.

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.

Significant snowfall and bitter cold temperatures are going to make travel (and life in general) more difficult as we approach the weekend with a Winter Storm Warning for southwest Montana.

Several inches of in-town snow, gusty winds and much colder temperatures are in the forecast for the Bozeman area. Travel could be extremely hazardous at times with blowing and drifting snow along with low visibility.

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.

Although most of the expected snow fell overnight, we may see a bit more snow in Bozeman today and the surrounding passes Tuesday.

A front heading down from Canada will cause a few inches of snow to fall in the Kalispell area with gusty winds making travel occasionally hazardous.

Bozeman will probably get a mix of slushy rain and snow for the next few days but higher elevations should see snow accumulation of several inches.

Although the City of Butte may only see a dusting of snow (if any), elevations above 5,000 or 6,000 feet may see a few inches by noon on Monday with this Winter Weather Advisory.
