Billings, Montana – Heavy rain and mountain snow will sweep across Montana from Sunday into Monday, raising the risk of flooded roads, rising creeks, and hazardous travel conditions across much of the state.
According to the National Weather Service in Billings, the next spring storm could drop over an inch of precipitation in central and southern Montana, including Billings, Bozeman, and Red Lodge, from Sunday morning through late Monday. Affected areas could see ponding in low-lying roads, surging streams, and fast changes in travel conditions, especially in higher terrain. Mountain passes and recreation areas may experience accumulating snow, making outdoor plans challenging or dangerous.
Drivers should watch for water over roadways and never attempt to cross flooded areas. Mountain travelers are urged to check conditions before heading out, as snow and slick roads are likely at elevation. Thunderstorms could develop by Sunday evening, adding to local downpours and raising the chance of gusty winds into Monday.
This system may impact both Montana and parts of northern Wyoming. Additional advisories or warnings may be issued as the storm develops. Residents should monitor updates through Monday for any changes or new hazards.
