WEATHER ALERT: Prepare for harsh travel conditions, as a late season winter storm will impact western Montana through Tuesday. Impacts include damaging wind and heavy snow into this evening, with gusts possibly topping 50 mph from northwest Montana to Missoula. This raises the concern for downed trees, power outages, strong crosswinds, and very choppy lake conditions, local forecasters warn. Locations from Hamilton to Bozeman could see 2 to 6 inches of snow, with higher amounts around Butte.
