Weather

Snow is expected this afternoon and the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory.

Hopefully this next snowy front will dump significant snow in western Montana. Areas west of Whitefish to Missoula are expecting several inches of fresh snow by Thursday morning.

Snow and very gusty winds whipped up after a warm start to the day. Bozeman temps were in the upper 40s at the start of Tuesday, dropping rapidly at 9am.

Eight counties are under a Dense Fog Advisory until at least Saturday morning in northeast Montana. Very low visibility is creating dangerous driving conditions on top of already icy roads.

Well, Fall in Montana was nice. Northern Montana may see over a foot of snow by mid-day Wednesday with a fresh Winter Weather Advisory. Strong winds could make this storm quite dangerous.

Climate change. Nature or manmade? Is the climate changing and is it out fault?

Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 6 to 12 inches at lower elevations and 12 to 24 inches in the mountains.

Southwest Montana saw fewer hunters during the general hunting season this year, and the weather made it challenging for those hunters who did take the field.

Thanksgiving travel is becoming more difficult with very gusty winds and up to a foot of snow now possible in southwest Montana by Thursday night.

High winds are expected in Livingston and areas east through Wednesday afternoon with gusts up to 60 mph possible. Travel could be impacted.
