winter weather advisory

Many counties in southwest Montana are expecting a decent blanket of mountain snow by Tuesday afternoon. Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for nearly a dozen counties.

Yellowstone National Park will continue to get hammered with snow and gusty winds until Saturday morning with a Winter Weather Advisory. Up to 12" of fresh snow could fall and visibility may be near zero during this time.

Another round of significant snow is headed for the mountains near the Montana/Idaho border, with up to a foot or more possible by Friday night. This Winter Weather Advisory will probably only bring a few inches of snow to lower elevations.

Southern mountains of Gallatin, Madison and Beaverhead Counties may get up to a foot of fresh snow by Tuesday morning. Gusty winds up to 60 mph are also possible, creating difficult travel conditions over mountain passes.

Our mountains are getting another round of snow, with up to 10 inches near Homestake Pass and Georgetown Lake. The high elevations around Bozeman are only supposed to see up to 5" by Tuesday morning.

Yellowstone National Park is the poster child for winter this week with frigid temps and TONS of fresh snow. The next storm could bring 16 more inches of new snow by Friday night in the Park.

Gallatin County will get up to 5" of snow and very gusty winds through Monday night until about 9am Tuesday morning. Even small amounts of snow combined with wind will create poor visibility.

Bridger Bowl could definitely use a good dose of fresh powder, so let's keep our fingers crossed that this storm helps to improve conditions up in the mountains.

High elevations and mountain passes could see over 6 inches of fresh snow with a Winter Weather Advisory in effect. The valleys will see significant rain showers and much cooler temperatures.

Another layer of snow, along with gusty winds, are headed to southwest Montana with several inches of snow possible in the valleys and up to 10" possible in the mountains.

Snow continues to fall around Gallatin County and the highest elevations may get up to a foot of fresh snow by Sunday night.
