Missoula and all of western Montana endured a long night of high winds, downed trees and power outages, said meteorologist Travis Booth with the National Weather Service office in Missoula early Tuesday morning.
The National Weather Service is predicting with moderate confidence for today that Western MT will experience strong and potentially damaging winds with an approaching cold front, with winds at 25 to 35 mph, gusting to 40 to 60-plus mph possible, peaking between 5pm-12am.
