The National Weather Service, Missoula, has issued a winter weather advisory in effect until 8 p.m. today for the Kootenai/Cabinet Region for a rapid drop in temperature, wind and possible snow squalls.

A rapid temperature is expected this afternoon and evening with brief periods of heavy snow. Pushed by winds gusting to 35 miles per hour, snow squalls are possible, which could suddenly drop visibility to under a quarter mile, making travel difficult.

One to three inches of fresh snow is expected.
