Winter Storm Warnings

March 7 2026

Residents across Montana should brace for significant wind events as the National Weather Service has issued multiple High Wind Warnings and Watches effective from the evening of March 6 through March 9. Damaging southwest and westerly winds reaching 30 to 60 mph with gusts up to 90 mph, and even isolated gusts over 100 mph along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountain Front, are expected. These conditions are likely to down trees and power lines, causing widespread power outages and making travel perilous, particularly for high-profile vehicles in areas including but not limited to the West Glacier Region, Flathead/Mission Valleys, Kootenai/Cabinet Region, and Judith Basin County. Major cities like Missoula and Billings, as well as towns like Judith Gap and Harlowton, should prepare for hazardous conditions and heed local advisories.
