A significant temperature and weather change is headed for Montana later this week. If you have to drive or travel somewhere, be prepared by allowing for extra time and bring supplies such as food, water, warm clothing, and a charged cell phone with you on your journey.
Overnight low temperatures will fall well into the negatives Friday night into Saturday morning. Much of the forecast area exceeds an 80% chance of a low temperature below -10F, it is important to prepare for very cold conditions if venturing outside. #mtwx#wywx

This afternoon, a KHP Trooper's patrol vehicle was struck while assisting a motorist on I-70 in Saline County. Our Trooper is currently alert and conscious; however, he was initially trapped inside his vehicle. This is always a scary scenario that could have been much worse.

Please, be on high alert for scammers who may be impersonating our troopers! We've had reports of folks getting calls from our main line (406-444-3780). However, we will never call anyone from that number. It may seem legitimate, but it isn't!
Conditions change everything. The posted speed limit is for ideal conditions so when the weather takes a turn for the worst, remember to adjust your speed and driving behaviors for the road ahead.
Last week's incident has left one of our troopers hospitalized along with a long road to recovery. We're grateful for the support we've received from across the state. A GoFundMe page has been created to help. Please consider donating if you are able. https://t.co/9ir5Iye2Ko
