We've been battling high winds for WEEKS and they're going to continue this week, until at least noon on Thursday. 60 MPH winds are expected on the I-90 corridor between Livingston and Big Timber.

If you're going to be traveling through this area, know that detours off the interstate and through the town of Livingston are quite common.

Sometimes that detour is in effect only for semi trucks and towing vehicles...other times they detour all vehicles. It simply depends on how gusty the winds actually get.
