Billings, MT – A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Northern Sweet Grass, including Big Timber, until noon Monday as gusty winds and blowing snow create hazardous travel conditions.

Travelers are urged to drive cautiously and plan for delays. The risk of blowing snow and reduced visibility will lessen as temperatures rise above freezing by Monday afternoon.
Residents and travelers in the area should stay updated on road conditions by calling 511. Officials advise slowing down, allowing extra time for travel, and preparing for potential changes in driving conditions. Stay tuned for additional updates as the weather system progresses.
