WFO BYZ HAS ISSUED A HEADS-UP EMAIL TO OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
COMMUNITY AND OTHER PARTNERS.
EMAIL TOPIC...NWS BILLINGS, MT: HEAVY SNOW POTENTIAL SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
..REASONING IN EMAIL
*OVERVIEW: A SPRING STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT
PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION ALONG WITH MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES.
THIS COMBINATION WILL RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SNOW OVER
AREA MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS. LESSER AMOUNTS OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED IN
THE LOWER ELEVATIONS.
IMAPACTS: TRAVEL AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES MAY BECOME DIFFICULT TO
IMPOSSIBLE AT TIMES FOR FOOTHILLS AND MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS DUE TO
HEAVY SNOWFALL. HEAVY SNOW WILL IMPACT PORTIONS OF I-90 NEAR
LIVINGSTON, BIG TIMBER AND SHERIDAN AS WELL AS HIGHWAY 212 IN THE
RED LODGE AREA. TRAVEL IMPACTS MAY EXTEND INTO THE LOWER ELEVATIONS
ESPECIALLY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. YOUNG LIVESTOCK MAY BE
STRESSED BY THE MUCH COLDER CONDITIONS COMBINED WITH SNOWFALL.
UNCERTAINTIES: WHILE CONFIDENCE IS HIGH FOR SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS OVER
THE FOOTHILLS...THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY REGARDING SNOWFALL OVER
BILLINGS AND LOCATIONS IN THE SOUTHEAST SECTION OF MONTANA. KEEP UP
WITH THE LATEST FORECAST FOR YOUR AREA OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS FOR
ANY CHANGES.
