Billings, MT – The National Weather Service (NWS) in Billings is warning travelers and outdoor enthusiasts to prepare for difficult winter conditions through Monday night, as a new round of mountain snow spreads across southern Montana and northern Wyoming.
According to the US National Weather Service Billings, the Bighorn Mountains could receive 4 to 8 inches of snow, creating challenging travel conditions along US-14 and US-14A.
