Overview
- A compact upper-level low will bring heavy, wet snow to mountains and nearby foothills in southern Montana and northern Wyoming.
- Northwest gusts of 25 to 45 mph, with higher bursts near the Bighorn foothills, will kick up blowing and drifting snow that cuts visibility.
- Winter Weather Warnings and Advisories are posted through Friday, and mountain passes face slick roads and slow travel.
- The wet, windy setup creates dangerous exposure for newborn calves and lambs on open range.
- The storm is forecast to move out by early Saturday, with a warmer, dry Easter weekend in the 50s and 60s.
