The National Weather Service has issued an alert for heavy snow in the form of a Winter Storm Warning in western Montana that will last through most of the upcoming week, with a possible eight inches of snow on the ground in Missoula.

Stormy weather should clear out before most Thanksgiving travel.

Be safe! This can be deadly during the winter in Montana.

Rain, snow, and strong winds will invade western Montana.

This is the second driest October on record, with the least amount of moisture since 1998.

Montana’s Winter Weather according to the Farmers' Almanac, is especially saying Montanans will certainly be shaking and shivering!

Expect a good ol’ Montana winter. Accept the challenge of putting your abode in readiness mode beforehand, so you don't have to go looking for a Snow shovel when it's 5 degrees out. Where did you put that thing anyway?

We spoke to Senior Meteorologist Bob Nester who provided the numbers he had just gathered.

Summer is long from being over in Missoula, despite the fact that the school year is underway.
