首场大雪预报覆盖蒙大拿州：10月26日出行恐遇危险路况
10月25日晚发布的天气预报显示，今秋首场规模较大的降雪正在逼近落基山脉和平原地区，蒙大拿州是受影响的州之一，危险路况可能从10月26日周一开始出现。
据AccuWeather10月25日的预报，冷空气南下将使降雪范围超出最高山区，包括南达科他州、北达科他州、内布拉斯加州、怀俄明州、蒙大拿州和科罗拉多州的部分地区都可能出现积雪。预报指出，南达科他州黑山地区最可能出现积雪，拉皮德城可能迎来本季首场雨夹雪天气；从怀俄明州东部和内布拉斯加州西北部到北达科他州西南部，同样可能出现积雪。
蒙大拿州居民和过境司机需要在周一出行前留意路况变化，即使降雪总量不大，初雪期的路面湿滑和能见度下降仍可能造成危险。丹佛和科罗拉多河流域大部分地区预计可避开本轮最强降水，但蒙大拿州及周边平原地区的旅行者仍应为延误和慢行做好准备，及时查看官方路况通报再出发。

Season's First Major Snow Forecast to Cover Montana: Hazardous Travel Possible on October 26
A weather forecast issued on the evening of October 25 showed the first sizable snowfall of the autumn closing in on the Rocky Mountains and the Plains, with Montana among the states affected and hazardous road conditions possible starting Monday, October 26.
According to the October 25 AccuWeather forecast, a push of cold air southward will spread snow beyond the highest terrain, with parts of South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana and Colorado all possibly seeing accumulation. The forecast said the Black Hills of South Dakota are the most likely area for accumulating snow, and Rapid City could see its first wintry mix of the season; snow is also possible from eastern Wyoming and northwestern Nebraska to southwestern North Dakota.
Montana residents and through-drivers should check conditions before traveling on Monday: even if snowfall totals are modest, slick roads and reduced visibility during the season's first snow can still be dangerous. Denver and most of the Colorado River Basin are expected to escape the heaviest precipitation in this round, but travelers in Montana and the surrounding Plains should prepare for delays and slow going, and check official road reports before setting out.
