Weather

Highway cameras have always been thought of as useful tools. But in Montana, our MDT highway cameras have some of the best views of rural scenery in America. It's truly breathtaking what you can see.

Several counties in northern Montana are experiencing dangerous travel conditions due to dense fog Thursday morning. An advisory is in effect for the following areas until 11am Thursday.

Monday night and Tuesday morning are looking to be extremely windy in northwest Montana with gusts up to 75 MPH in some locations. Several counties are under a weather warning, and travelers need to use caution.

More snow is headed toward Montana, and will affect the SW border of Montana and Idaho for most of the day on Tuesday. Just in time for ski season! Up to 6 more inches of snow is expected, after a snowy weekend.

Portions of Montana will be heavily affected by the next storm front. Higher elevations on the Montana/Idaho border could see up to 10" of heavy snow. Travel could be impacted, especially in the overnight hours. East Glacier will also be impacted.

The week is off to a snowy, slippery starts across western Montana with up to 6 more inches falling during the day on Monday. Snow covered roads and foggy conditions affected the Monday morning commute, and temperatures are expected to drop significantly overnight.

Perhaps the squirrels have to work a little harder up here to make it through the winter, but really - squirrels in Montana are doing something this year that I have never seen them do, and it's not good news for your home or property.

Dangerous winds are whipping through many counties in central and northern Montana on Tuesday. Wind gusts up to 60 MPH, when combined with falling snow are creating difficult travel conditions.

Very gusty winds of up to 55 MPH will join forces with more than a foot of snow for some mountains of Montana through Wednesday. Travel may be difficult through several mountain passes. Visibility will drop considerably.

The last few days of October will bring a foot or more of fresh snow to the mountains of southern Montana. Higher elevations south of I-90 such as Big Sky, Red Lodge, and even the Big Pryor Mountains could get pounded with heavy, wet snow through Tuesday night.
