Billings, MT – A powerful winter system is set to blanket much of Montana through early Monday, bringing heavy snow and high winds. Travelers are urged to exercise caution, especially on I-90 and US-212 east of Billings, where conditions could become nearly impassable.
According to the National Weather Service in Billings, the heaviest snow is expected in the mountains and higher elevations southeast of the city. Gusty winds will create blowing and drifting snow, significantly reducing visibility. Temperatures are forecast to remain below freezing, further complicating travel on major routes.
Snowfall will likely intensify Sunday evening and continue into Monday morning. Areas such as Lodge Grass and Hardin are at higher risk for treacherous driving conditions. Those planning travel should consult Montana’s road condition resources at 511mt.net or call 511 for updates.…
