6 More Inches of New Snow For Red Lodge
More snow this afternoon into this evening for the Beartooth Foothills and the area surrounding Red Lodge. Another 6 inches of fresh snow could fall by midnight.
Although none of the measured basin regions in Montana are to 'normal' yet, the snowpack situation has improved a lot over the last several weeks. If these storms to continue to rotate through, we'll see even more improvement.
