National Weather Service Billings MT

.DISCUSSION...

Scattered showers and wet thunderstorms are expected to move east
to northeast through the area this afternoon and evening, with
some possibly becoming strong to severe. Main threats are strong
and erratic winds, large hail, and heavy rain. Look for the chance
of showers and wet thunderstorms to continue on Wednesday.
Temperatures today and Wednesday will remain slightly below normal
with seasonably high humidities. By Thursday into the weekend,
warmer and drier conditions look to return, but cannot rule out
isolated showers and thunderstorms each day. Arends/Palmquist.
