First major snowstorm of the season hitting the northern Rockies after a warm fall

Associated Press  

— The first major snowstorm of the season is expected to hit the northern Cascades, Rockies and North Dakota this week, sending residents searching for their winter coats, gloves and boots and facing much different driving conditions after a warm fall in many places. Central Montana will see the worst of the snow, said Matt Ludwig, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Great Falls. “Do not leave children unattended at their bus stop if conditions deteriorate, and remember to have warm clothes ready for tomorrow morning as we get this first blast of winter.” The snow is expected to move across northwestern and north-central North Dakota, beginning Tuesday night or early Wednesday and lasting into Thursday night, said Nathan Heinert, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Bismarck. Northwestern Wyoming, including Yellowstone National Park, is also under a winter storm warning, the National Weather Service said.
