00:05and brutal 50-mile-per-hour winds, and it could make travel extremely dangerous this week.
00:11The National Weather Service says areas in Wyoming and Montana are back in the danger zone
00:16after only a short break from recent storms. Forecasters warn that strong winds could create
00:22near-whiteout conditions across parts of the Rocky Mountains, especially in higher elevations.
00:27Some regions near Buffalo, Wyoming could see the heaviest snowfall starting Monday night
00:32and lasting through Thursday. Drivers are being told to prepare now because icy roads,
00:38low visibility, and sudden wind gusts could turn highways into a nightmare fast.
00:43Officials say anyone traveling through affected areas should carry emergency supplies, including
00:48food, water, blankets, and first-aid kits. Even though this storm is smaller than last week's
00:54massive system, experts say it still has the power to disrupt travel and create dangerous
01:00conditions across the region. If you thought winter was over, think again, because Mother Nature
