Glasgow, Montana – Snowfall across northeast Montana is creating slippery road conditions Saturday morning, prompting continued travel advisories.
According to the National Weather Service in Glasgow, a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 11 a.m. MST for multiple counties in northeast Montana. Additional snow accumulations of up to one inch are expected before the advisory expires.
The affected area includes Central and Southeast Phillips, Central and Southern Valley, Daniels, Sheridan, Western Roosevelt, McCone, Richland, Dawson, Wibaux, Northern Phillips, Northern Valley and Eastern Roosevelt counties. Communities impacted include Glasgow, Sidney, Glendive, Wolf Point, Malta, Plentywood, Scobey, Culbertson, Circle and Wibaux.
Forecasters report light snowfall continuing through the morning hours, with minor additional accumulation possible before precipitation tapers off.
The primary impact is hazardous travel. Snow-covered and slick roadways may affect highways and secondary roads throughout the region. Commuters, delivery drivers and rural residents traveling between towns may encounter reduced traction and variable driving conditions.
The National Weather Service advises motorists to slow down and use caution while traveling. Updated road conditions are available by calling 511 for Montana’s statewide travel information system.
Conditions are expected to gradually improve late this morning as snowfall ends and crews address road surfaces. However, drivers should remain alert for lingering slick spots, especially on bridges and untreated stretches of highway.
