A vehicle turns from a snowpacked Second Avenue onto more snow on Second Street this morning. While temperatures are expected to moderate, National Weather Service says much more snow is on the way in the next few days.
While the frigid cold seems poised to lessen on the Hi-Line in the next few days the area will likely see an inundation of snow as the National Weather Service upgrades its Winter Storm advisory, set to start tonight, to a more severe winter storm warning.
The warning begins tonight at 11 p.m. and will be active until 11 a.m. Thursday for Havre, Rocky Boy, Lewistown and Hilger, as well as Hill County and the Bear Paw Mountains broadly and the south of Blaine and Fergus counties.
The warning says heavy snow is expected, with between 4 and 9 inches of accumulation possible.
"The latest road conditions can be obtained by calling 511 or visiting the MDT Road Report website," the warning says. "To see a graphical representation of the degree of stress on young livestosk please visit our webpage and select Local Programs then Cold Air Advisory for Newborn Livestock."

Wednesday will also be colder with a predicted high of 7 and a low of -10, though the wind is expected to lessen, with values of -20 at the lowest predicted.
Snow will likely continue into Thursday morning, but is predicted to taper off around midday.
