Severe winter weather will impact Montana
KBZK reports:
"3 pm Thursday update on approaching severe winter weather to impact Montana.
The forecast has changed only slightly from my previous post. The National Weather Service has updated winter storm watches into winter storm warnings.
First come areas of heavy wet snow beginning Thursday night with a better chance for heavy wet valley snow throughout the day on Friday. Snow will continue Friday night into Saturday morning and slowly diminish by Saturday evening.
Heavy wet snow is likely with a high-water content that will melt as it hits the pavement tonight into Friday and accumulate at high elevations. Slush covered roads could “flash freeze” Friday night into Saturday morning as Arctic air digs in produce extremely icy road conditions and rough chunky ice on the roadways.
Other travel hazards will be periods of heavy snow, low visibility with some localized blowing snow and wet slushy roads turning to ice.
The National Weather Service issued a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY west of the divide from 5 pm Thursday through 1 pm Friday. Note: this advisory turns into a winter storm warning beginning at 1 pm Friday.
Light to moderate snow will impact travel at all levels tonight into Friday morning."
