Already, the storm's effects are being keenly felt across Montana. The local NBC station reported Saturday morning that power across western Montana has largely been knocked out.
A National Weather Service radar map includes photos of ice-covered roads as a record winter storm is expected to pummel the state on Saturday and Sunday.Montana is expected to endure a record winter storm this weekend, with much of the state under a storm warning or weather advisory. The National Weather Service says that snowfall amounts may possibly be measured in feet as the storm pummels the Northern Rockies through Monday.
Temperatures are also projected to slide into the teens by Tuesday morning, with expected lows of 18 degrees Fahrenheit in Augusta and 14 degrees in Conrad. Wind speeds could reach 60 miles per hour. Downed power lines and felled trees were also contributing to dangerous driving conditions as the storm begins to hammer the state. Local meteorologist Brooke Foster wrote on Twitter that one downed tree near Bigfork was blocking all lanes on Highway 35, a major roadway in the western part of the state.
During the storm's height, driving could be rendered nearly impossible under whiteout conditions. Livestock may also be impacted due to the frigid temperatures and associated wind chill.
