Fort Peck Lake is no stranger to windy days, and Friday will be another day for caution. Boaters should pay extra attention, and be conservative with where they go on Friday. Gusty winds will create dangerous waves for smaller boats.

Lots of mountain snow and gusty winds are going to hit Montana counties after several days of mild, pleasant Spring weather. There will probably be travel advisories in effect for major roadways through Thursday evening.

The mountains of SW Montana counties could see up to 18 more inches of snow by Friday morning, with an extended Winter Weather Advisory. Several other areas in Montana are also under some sort of weather warning.

Be aware: if you need to drive in northern Montana on Thursday, you'll probably encounter very strong winds. Gusts up to 60 MPH are in the forecast. Montana's Hi-Line between Glacier and Shelby are the target area.

Strong winds are being predicted across Southern Montana Sunday- from Livingston through Billings and down into Wyoming. Harlow residents are even being warned about the wind.

The Montana Department of Transportation has added more camera locations to the MDT road camera map. Road conditions and current on-site weather information is incredibly helpful to Montana travelers.

The entire northern half of Montana, along with the area through Livingston, is under some sort of high wind warning, advisory, or watch for Monday. Winds gusting to 60 mph or more are bound to affect road travel. The western part of Montana will get high winds on Sunday night.

Travel in the southern portion of Montana could get quite dangerous through Friday morning, as the higher elevations along the border are expecting over foot of snow and gusty winds up to 40mph.

A huge percentage of Montana counties are under some sort of flood warning through at least Friday night. Lots of snow followed by much warmer temperatures equals an insane amount of melted water - and that means flooding.
