Winter Storm Watch

Get the boots and shovels handy...again. Another round of snow is on the way, especially for the mountains south of Bozeman, Livingston, and Butte.

Well that escalated quickly. Nobody ever said Montana weather was boring. Some mountains in southwest Montana may get hammered this weekend with 10 to 20 inches of snow piling up by Sunday afternoon.

The first snow of the season is expected early next week in Bozeman.

Montana is being full-on Montana this week with up to 14 inches of snow possible by Friday afternoon in the higher elevations from Helena up to Glacier National Park. Lower valleys could see up to 5 inches of snow.

It seems like winter may have finally arrived in Montana.

Enjoy the warm weather while you can, because things are going to change this weekend.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for Madison and Gallatin Counties on Saturday.

Bozeman could receive up to 6 inches of snow.

A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for Wednesday afternoon through late Thursday night.
