Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
252 PM MDT Wed Jul 23 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible into the evening
hours before decreasing as a disturbance moves through the region.
Over eastern districts, a few strong to severe thunderstorms are
possible with the main threats being strong and erratic winds,
hail, and heavy rain. Thursday into the weekend, warmer and drier
conditions look to return, but cannot rule out isolated showers
and thunderstorms each day. High temperatures will trend towards
the 80s and 90s, with afternoon RH down in the 20s and 30s
percent, highest over eastern districts. Thermal belt activity
near the mountains will lead to moderate to poor RH recoveries at
times in the mid slopes. Palmquist
