Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
223 AM MDT Sat Jul 25 2026

...Red Flag Warning in effect from Noon today to Midnight MDT tonight
   for all of South Central Montana... all of Southeast Montana...
   portions of Northwest South Dakota... all of Eastern Sheridan
   County Wyoming... and all of The Big Horn National Forest...

...Hot and dry this weekend...

.DISCUSSION...

Hot and dry conditions can be expected today with highs over much
of the the lower elevations into the triple digits and afternoon
RH down into the teens percent. Isolated to scattered
thunderstorms are expected to bring increased lightning activity
and the potential for strong and erratic wind gusts this afternoon
and evening with spotty rainfall. Some of the thunderstorms could
be strong to severe. The combination of hot and dry conditions
and thunderstorms will lead to critical fire weather. Sunday
through the end of the workweek is expected to bring temperatures
in the 90s to low 100s F and minimum relative humidity values in
the teens and 20s percent. Weak monsoonal flow will bring a low
chance (10-25%) of mainly high-based thunderstorms most days
through the week. Palmquist
