Winter Weather advisory

Snow will continue to fall across most of Montana through at least Friday morning. Higher elevations are getting lots of snow, while the valleys are seeing less but frequent light snowfalls. Thursday night is expected to bring lots more snow, along with some wind.

It's literally the perfect storm for Butte, Bozeman, Billings, Baker, and everywhere in between. Heavy snowfall, dangerous winds, and drastically cold temperatures are expected across most of Montana. Don't be surprised if Emergency Travel Only statements are issued.

Things could get a little dicey in the Billings area beginning Friday night. Heads up for weekend travel plans.

The Montana Department of Transportation road report states that there was an accident on I-90 just east of Missoula, and that chains are now required over Lookout Pass, with intermittent ice and snow on highways throughput western Montana

After a week of subzero temperatures, the upcoming weekend will be even colder, and then it looks like we will finally get above the freezing mark by the middle of next week.

The preliminary snowfall totals from this past weekend have been posted, and several areas of Yellowstone County had more than a foot of snow over the weekend, with more expected to accumulate through the week.

The National Weather Service is issuing a Winter Weather Advisory for Yellowstone County that will run through noon on Sunday (10/18), with several inches of snow expected to accumulate through the weekend.

Just moments after the Montana Department of Transportation announced the reopening of Beartooth Highway to the Wyoming state line, a wintry mix has again closed a portion of Highway 212.

After temperatures hit the 50's on Saturday, a dramatic drop of up to 30 degrees will happen in 24 hours as a winter weather front brings icy roads to the area on Sunday.

Temperatures are expected to be in the mid 60's today (11/9), so get out and enjoy it because it's not going to last. A cold front will bring a wintry mix into the Magic City beginning tonight.

The Wednesday (11/6) commute could be hazardous with moderate snowfall expected for Billings until mid-morning, according to the National Weather Service.
