🌬️ Strong and potentially damaging northeast winds are expected to impact Northwest Montana Sunday night into Monday. Key Concerns: Wind Gusts: Gusts of 40 to 50 mph are possible, especially for the eastern part of Flathead Valley, southeast portions of Flathead Lake/ Finley Point, and surrounding mountain areas. Unique Impacts: Heavy, wet snow above 3000 feet on Sunday will still be clinging to trees. This extra weight, combined with wet, unfrozen ground and strong winds from a seasonally abnormal direction, significantly increases the likelihood of falling trees and branches. Primary Threats: 🌲 Falling trees and branches. ⚡ Potential for power outages. 🌊 Damage to docks on Flathead Lake due to strong winds. Please take time this weekend to secure any loose outdoor items. Stay aware of your surroundings if you are outdoors on Sunday night and Monday.
Winter weather is here! Several inches of snow are possible in the mountains all across the region this weekend and early next week. Recent forecasts have lowered the snow levels to add a 20-40% chance of valley locations around Kalispell receiving an inch or more of new snow by Monday morning.
Here's the range of possible snowfall for the incoming storm. Our confidence is growing for heavy, impactful snow in far NW Montana, even for some valley locations. *The combination of heavy, wet snow, gusty winds, and trees still holding leaves also brings an increased risk of downed branches and power outages.* For everyone, expect the potential for hazardous travel over all mountain passes. Valleys will see their first flakes, with slick roads possible through Monday morning.
