Winter Weather Advisory, follow US National Weather Service Great Falls Montana for the most up to date information and prepare early!

WINTER WEATHER ALERTS UPDATE: Portions of western and central Montana are now under either a WINTER STORM WARNING or a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY from Saturday afternoon/evening (10/10/26) through Monday morning (10/12/26).

A significant fall snowstorm is expected to impact the state this weekend. For locations under a WINTER STORM WARNING, 5-10" of snow is expected in the lower elevations, while 6-12+" of snow is expected in the mountains. Along the southern Rocky Mountain Front, 10-20" of snow is expected

For locations under a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY, 1-5" of snow is expected in the lower elevations, while 3-12" of snow is expected in the mountains.

Winds may gust as high as 30-45 mph, creating areas of blowing snow and reduced visibility.

The Absaroka/Beartooth mountains and the Crazy mountains remain under a WINTER STORM WATCH for the same time period as 12+" of snow is expected

Travel is likely to become difficult, especially at and above mountain pass level. If possible, avoid travel across mountain passes that are under these alerts from Saturday night through Monday morning, and be prepared for winter driving conditions if you must travel.

💖October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — a powerful reminder that early detection saves lives.

💖While knowing the signs is important, screenings are essential. Regular mammograms and clinical breast exams can detect cancer long before symptoms appear — when treatment is most effective.

💖Regular screenings are one of the most effective steps you can take for peace of mind and early detection. If you've been delaying a screening due to cost, help is available right here in Montana.

💖Through the Montana Cancer Control Programs (MCCP), eligible uninsured or underinsured women ages 40–74 can receive free mammograms and screening services.
