Central Panhandle Mountains

... Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 1 am PST Monday...

A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 1 am PST Monday.

An additional 1 to 3 inches of snow is expected to fall over the
valleys with 2 to 4 inches in the mountains mainly south of I-
90 this evening.

Storm total snow accumulations of 4 to 7 inches are expected in
the valleys with 6 to 12 inches in the mountains.

Areas of blowing snow are also expected in the mountains as
southwest winds remain near 15 to 30 mph through the early
evening. This will result in areas of blowing and drifting snow
over the mountains. Wind speeds over the valleys will be
significantly lighter.

Snow will begin to taper off into scattered showers overnight as
the main storm system pushes east into western Montana.
