Description:
At 624 PM MDT, a band of moderate snow with gusty winds was located
near Big Timber, moving east at 40 mph.
This band of moderate snow and gusty winds will track east along I-
90 through Sweet Grass, Stillwater, and into northern Carbon county
through 8 PM MDT.
The snow can accumulate at a rate of one inch per hour or more with
this snow. Wind gusts to 45 mph will create significant blowing
snow, reducing visibility below a mile at times.
Be prepared for hazardous driving conditions. Consider delaying
travel if you will be going through this band of snow. If you are
driving, slow down and be on alert for other motorists. Low
visibility shortens the amount of time you have to react to
situations.
Conditions can deteriorate rapidly in winter weather situations. Be
prepared for snow covered or slushy roads.
