West Yellowstone

The HIGHEST elevations could see up to a foot of fresh snow this weekend with a Winter Weather Advisory lasting from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. Areas near the Montana/Idaho border should be the most affected. Gusty winds will play a factor in this front as well.

Snow, wind, rain and warm temps have again prompted the GNFAC to issue an Avalanche Warning for Friday.

Southern Gallatin County is in for another round of snow (several inches possible) AND the wind to make travel difficult with another Winter Weather Advisory in effect until Monday night.

All of Southwest Montana is facing a Winter Storm Watch until 5pm on Wednesday with the the valleys facing up to 10 inches of snow and the mountains facing 20 inches possible!

This weather front coming through Montana is causing dangerous wind chills and treacherous driving conditions. Extreme caution should be used if traveling in southwest Montana for the next couple of days.

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.

There is sad news to report out of West Yellowstone where an out of state snowmobiler died yesterday.

The Bozeman area is under a weather double whammy Monday with snow in the forecast along with possible high winds. Travel could be extremely dangerous at times on Monday through Tuesday morning.

Higher mountain passes in southwest Montana will become snow covered and experience more wind today into this evening making for poor driving conditions.

A snowmobiler was rescued after his sled went off trail and struck a tree near West Yellowstone today.
