National Weather Service Billings MT

.DISCUSSION...

...Warm, Breezy, and Dry over the Mountains of South-Central
Montana Today...

...Widespread Windy Conditions Late Monday into Tuesday...

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to
develop and move north to northeast through the area this evening
into Monday morning. With this, thunderstorms will be capable of
producing locally heavy rain, as well as gusty winds and hail. The
chance of seeing a wetting rain is greatest around and north/west
of Billings, as well as over the mountains. Additional isolated
showers and thunderstorms are forecast on Monday. However, the
main concern Monday is the windy conditions that are expected to
develop during the afternoon and evening. With the wind, high
temperatures will be in the 60s and 70s west of Billings and
generally 80s east of Billings. Minimum relative humidity values
will be in the 20s and 30s percent, with a few localized teens
into Wyoming. Tuesday will be another windy day though
temperatures will be cooler in the 70s to 80 degrees. Minimum
relative humidity will be a bit lower, but still generally in the
20s and 30s percent. Temperatures trend warmer and relative
humidity trends drier Wednesday into Thursday. LA
