Periods of strong southwest to west winds will impact the area Wednesday to Friday. Highest gusts, potentially near 70 mph, will occur close to the western foothills, but gusty winds will spread east of the foothills too. Be prepared for difficult crosswinds if you will be traveling, and secure any loose outdoor items. Forecast Details Travelers should be prepared for hazardous crosswinds. Winds first increase around Livingston to Nye tonight. Winds then increase over the rest of the area Wednesday.
Periods of moderate to heavy snow will impact the Beartooth Absaroka and Crazy Mountains through Wednesday. Heaviest amounts will be on southwest and west facing slopes, including the mountains near Cooke City.

Another period of strong winds will impact the western foothills Wednesday into Friday. This will be followed by a brief cool down and some light snow for Friday night into the weekend. It will be an active week of weather so plan accordingly.
An Avalanche Warning is in effect through at least 5AM Wednesday for the mountains around Cooke City. For more information, visit www.mtavalanche.com.
