In the lower elevations, less than an inch of snow accumulation is expected. In the Big Belt and Little Belt Mountains, 2 to 6 inches of snow accumulation is expected. This precipitation may also create slippery road conditions tomorrow night and Friday morning, so please be careful when driving.

On Friday, it is going to be breezy (10-25 mph sustained winds) during the morning in east-central and eastern Montana as this clipper departs our area.
