... Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 6 PM MDT Sunday...

A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 6 PM MDT Sunday.

Snow will continue to fall across southwest Montana and southern
portions of central Montana through Sunday afternoon. Brisk north
to northeast winds of 15 to 30 mph will cause areas of blowing
snow in the mountains... and also through favored canyons and
gaps. By Sunday afternoon expect 4 to 8 inches of snow
accumulation at lower elevations... with 15 to 30 inches of snow
likely in the mountains.

Snow will initially melt on Road surfaces but will freeze as
temperatures drop below freezing overnight. This could cause
dangerous driving conditions as ice forms on the roadway.

For specific Road and travel conditions in Montana... dial 5 1 1.
