Snow moves out of lower elevations, but still is possible for upper elevations through Central Montana.

A good amount of heavy snow showers moved through a little later last night.

That sent snow totals up and packed more snow on roadways.

Slick conditions are in store for Central Montana’s morning commute.

Gusts pick up to almost 40 MPH this morning.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 11 AM until 5 PM today due to blowing and drifting snow.
