Heavy snow warnings are still in effect across Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana. Some areas expect up to 18 inches of snow.
As of early Tuesday, heavy snow reaching up to 10 inches is anticipated across parts of these states. Southern Wyoming could see between 6 and 10 inches from Monday afternoon until Tuesday afternoon.
In central Colorado, higher elevations might receive up to 3 inches of snow by Monday morning. North central Colorado faces predictions of up to 8 inches along with winds reaching 40 mph.
Montana is forecasted to receive between 1 and 10 inches of snow. Winds could range from 30 to 35 mph in the state. The Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming could see significant snowfall—up to 10 inches—with Snowy Range Pass expecting as much as 18 inches.
Travel conditions are expected to be hazardous on several highways due to the heavy snowfall. Residents are advised to prepare for possible power outages caused by heavy snow bringing down tree branches and power lines.
The National Weather Service has issued Winter Weather Advisories across the high country of Colorado. Meanwhile, conditions in Montana may turn warmer later this week, with rain rather than snow anticipated.
Officials have not confirmed the full extent of impacts on local infrastructure or travel routes. However, nearly five feet of snow has already fallen in some areas of Montana over recent weeks.
With winter weather conditions expected to persist, outdoor activities may become increasingly dangerous. Residents should remain vigilant and stay updated on local forecasts.
