Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
242 PM MDT Sat Sep 12 2026

...Breezy westerly winds Monday...

.DISCUSSION...

Gusty southwest winds (to 40 mph) and drier conditions (relative
humidity of 20-25%) on Sunday will bring elevated fire weather
concerns to the high elevations of the Gallatin NF. Breezy
southeast winds (20-40 mph) can be expected over the east, with a
low level jet developing Sunday night. Showers and a few
thunderstorms spread across the area Sunday night with a cold
front passage, followed by dry conditions and breezy westerly
winds on Monday. Gusts of 35-50 mph will be common across the
districts, strongest for areas from Big Timber north through
Judith Gap. While a few showers are possible mid week, a weather
system towards the latter half of next week looks to be the next
chance for precipitation potential. Palmquist
