Weather

The lack of snow is eye-opening.

Wind gusts of 60 to 80 mph may pummel at least 25 Montana counties through Tuesday morning. A huge section of the state is under a High Wind Warning or Wind Advisory.

The roads are way more slick than you think today. Dozens of crashes and slide-offs are affecting travel on the I-90 corridor. Please know that commute time is going to require patience.

Whoa. Cut Bank, Browning, Heart Butte, and Choteau are going to see some crazy wind gusts through Friday morning. Please use extra caution if you're traveling through any of these areas.

60 MPH wind gusts will be plaguing the Livingston area and the I-90 corridor through Wednesday evening. Travel may be dangerous at times so extra caution and slower speeds are a must.

Fall. Winter. Fall. Winter. 'Tis the dance Montana generally does through the month of October. High elevations in southwest Montana could see up to 10 inches of fresh snow by Tuesday morning...so I guess that means we're back to winter!

The weather is going to be pretty messy in and around Yellowstone National Park on Monday. Several inches of snow is expected to fall, with up to 6" in the highest elevations surrounding the Park. Driving conditions could deteriorate quickly if you're in the area.

We might have quite a mess on our hands...a Winter Storm Warning (that's the big deal one), is in effect for Gallatin and Madison Counties until Noon on Tuesday. Several inches of snow is expected in the valleys with up to 18" of snow to accumulate in the mountains.

On one hand, I can't think of much that is prettier than snow capped mountain tops. On the other, while I'm over the heat and smoke, I'm not sure I'm ready for winter and everything that comes with that.

Sometimes the wind here in Montana can be dangerous and these tips can definitely help.
