National Weather Service Billings MT
223 PM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Above normal temperatures generally in the 80s and 90s return
Sunday with minimum RH values in the upper teens to 20s south of
Billings and 20s to 30s north of Billings. Increased southeasterly
winds will develop tonight into Sunday in far eastern Montana
ahead of a cold front passage that will switch winds out of the
northwest Sunday evening. Along with this front, showers and
thunderstorms look to develop mainly across central Montana Sunday
afternoon, moving east through the evening. A few storms could
become strong to severe with this activity, with the main threats
being gusty winds, frequent lightning, and brief heavy rain.
Active weather with additional chances of wetting rain and near
normal temperatures continues into the work week. Arends
