Periods of light to moderate snow will spread over the area through early Thursday morning. Gusty NW winds will accompany the snow producing areas of blowing snow and reductions in visibility. Travel will be impacted over southeast MT and north central WY.
Strong SW to W winds are expected to develop over the western foothills on Thursday, continuing into early Friday ahead of a cold front. High-profile vehicles should consider delaying travel or using alternate routes.
Another system will bring snow to portions of the area Friday into Friday night. This time snow will be focused mainly along and south of I-90. Probabilities for accumulating snow with this system have been trending lower the past few model runs.
