Winter Storm Warning Issued for Montana Amid New Snowfall

Heading into the weekend only one winter storm warning from the National Weather Service remains, though several states will see snowfall over the weekend and into early next week.

"An upper-level trough over the Northern Rockies on Friday will persist through Sunday. The system will produce late-season light snowfall over the higher elevations of the Northern Rockies, the Northern Intermountain Region, and the Sierra Nevada Mountains Friday night into Saturday, and over the Great Basin and Central Rockies Saturday into Sunday," the National Weather Service said.

"An approaching cold front over the Northeast Pacific on late Saturday morning will produce rain over the Northwest on late Saturday and the Northwest and Northern California on Sunday."

More Snow for Montana

The lone winter storm warning as of Friday is for Montana as the state deals with yet another strong winter storm.

Bears Paw Mountains and Southern Blaine, including Rocky Boy are in for another 10 inches of snow and wind gusts up to 50 mph. With the winter storm warning in effect, the National Weather Service warned against travel across the state.

"Expect difficult driving conditions due to slush or snow covered roadways. Falling and or blowing snow will significantly reduce visibility at times. Those with outdoor plans should be prepared for dangerous outdoor conditions," it said.

Winter Storm Warning Comes After Nearly 5 Feet of Snow

The winter storm warning for Montana comes after parts of the state received nearly five feet of snow in just the last two weeks alone. According to the snowfall report from OpenSnow, Big Sky, MT received 56 inches of snow in the last two week – totaling over four and a half feet.

Now the state is set for even more snow.

According to the National Weather Service a winter storm warning "indicates that heavy snow of at least 6 inches in 12 hours, or at least 8 inches in 24 hours, is expected. It can also be issued if sleet accumulation will be at least half an inch."
