Snow advisory issued for northwest Montana

January 23, 2018

The National Weather Service, Missoula, has issued a winter weather advisory for the Kootenai/Cabinet region of northwest Montana, in effect from 5 p.m. today through 5 p.m. Wednesday, calling for, of all things, snow! Accumulations of two to five inches are expected region-wide, with more expected in isolated areas, including the Yaak. The snow is expected to make travel sketchy, especially during the Wednesday morning commute on Highway 2 between Libby and Kalispell, Highway 37 from Libby to Eureka, Highway 93 from Eureka to Whitefish and on Bull Lake Road. A winter weather advisory for snow means periods of snow will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow covered roads and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving. The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 511.
