Residents in Southern Wheatland, Beartooth Foothills, Livingston Area, Northern Park, and Northern Sweet Grass should prepare for hazardous travel conditions and potential power outages due to a Winter Weather Advisory issued by the National Weather Service in Billings, MT.
The advisory is effective immediately, October 11 at 12:57 AM MDT, and remains in effect until Monday, October 12 at 12:00 PM MDT. Periods of wet and blowing snow are expected, with total snow accumulations between 2 and 6 inches. Localized higher amounts are possible. Winds could gust as high as 40 mph.
