…APRIL MOUNTAIN SNOW EVENT TO IMPACT SOUTHWESTERN AND CENTRAL
MONTANA…

.A slow moving weather system from the Pacific will move bring
widespread rain to a large swath of Montana over the weekend, with
the best chances for precipitation expected Sunday afternoon through
Monday morning. While some of this precipitation will fall as rain
even at the higher elevations, widespread flooding is not a major
concern at this time. Snow levels will drop quickly Sunday evening
and overnight, allowing snow to at least reach the passes by sunrise
Monday. This snow will be heavy and wet, which may pose a danger to
trees and power lines, especially as trees begin to come out of
dormancy.

* WHAT…Heavy wet snow possible. Total snow accumulations up to 8
inches possible.

* WHERE…Gallatin and Madison County Mountains and Centennial
Mountains.

* WHEN…From Sunday evening through Monday morning.

* IMPACTS…The weight of heavy wet snow on tree limbs may down
power lines and could cause sporadic power outages. Travel could
be very difficult. Use caution when shoveling, especially if you
have a history of heart issues.
