Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
256 PM MDT Sun Sep 13 2026

...Low level jet across SE MT and NW SD this evening...
...Brisk westerly winds Monday...

.DISCUSSION...

Southeast winds (30-45 mph) are expected to continue into this
evening over the Montana/Dakotas border region, as a low level
jet forms. Showers and a few thunderstorms spread across the area
tonight with a cold frontal passage. The chance of a wetting rain
is low for most areas, though locally higher totals are possible.
Gusty northwest winds of 20-40 mph will accompany the front, with
locally higher gusts possible. Monday will bring drier and cooler
conditions, along with brisk west winds. Gusts 30-50 mph will be
common across the districts, with 45-55 mph possible from Big
Timber north through Judith Gap and along the Dakotas border.
While a few showers are possible mid week, a weather system
towards the latter half of the week looks to bring the next
potential for widespread precipitation. Temperatures will be
seasonable to a little cooler than normal most days (upper 60s to
70s). Palmquist
