Winter Weather Advisory issued February 19 at 5:55PM MST until February 22 at 5:00AM MST by NWS Great Falls MT

* WHAT…Blowing and drifting snow expected. Winds gusting as high
as 45 mph.

* WHERE…Eastern Glacier, Western Toole, and Central Pondera
Counties.

* WHEN…From 5 PM Thursday to 5 AM MST Saturday.

* IMPACTS…Blowing and drifting snow will create some reductions in
visibility and the potential for slippery roads and partial
roadway blockages.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Southwest to westerly winds will begin to
increase along the Rocky Mountain Front by Thursday morning and
remain strong and gusty through the remainder of the work week and
into the weekend. While these winds will bring increasing
temperatures, which will ultimately limit the blowing and drifting
snow, there will be a window from Thursday morning through
Saturday morning for significant blowing and drifting of the
current snowpack before temperatures warm sufficiently to limit
the blowing and drifting.
