The National Weather Service has issued Winter Storm Warning this evening for western Montana, and then a Winter Weather Advisory overnight into Tuesday.
According to the Montana Highway Patrol, a one vehicle accident near the S Curves between Missoula and Lolo on Highway 93 has resulted on one fatality.
Meteorologist Corby Nickerson spoke to KGVO News on Monday afternoon and described the weather system affecting the area.
“We re looking at cold arctic air and a relatively warm moist air mass riding up on over it and it s producing the classic ingredients for a good snowfall event across much of western Montana,” said Nickerson. “And now as the surface low moves to our south, we re seeing some convective snow starting to set up and that s resulting in some heavier snow, particularly in the Missoula and Bitterroot valleys.”
