Blizzard/ Watershed Maps/ WIC/ Ukraine



* BLIZZARD IMPACTS AND TIMING: CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE   SOME THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS SUSTAINED WINDS DECREASE A LITTLE   AND SNOW INTENSITY WANES. HOWEVER BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW   THROUGHOUT TOWN WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE. BUT DO NOT BE   DECEIVED! SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER WINDS WILL RETURN THIS   EVENING AND BE DANGEROUSLY GUSTY OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL PRODUCE   ADDITIONAL BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW WITH PERHAPS MORE   WIDESPREAD BLIZZARD CONDITIONS IN THE MISSOULA VALLEY AND   POTOMAC AREAS. LOCALIZED BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY   EXTEND SOUTH ALONG US- 93 TOWARDS LOLO AND FLORENCE OVERNIGHT.
  LOCATIONS FARTHER SOUTH UP THE BITTERROOT ARE NOT EXPECTED TO   RECEIVE WIDESPREAD BLIZZARD CONDITIONS.
