Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
155 PM MDT Fri Jul 5 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Scattered afternoon & evening showers/thunderstorms are expected
both today and Saturday, as our region remains under a NW flow
aloft w/ embedded weak disturbances. Temps will remain slightly
cooler than normal with mid 70s to low 80s and seasonably high
RHs over the weekend. The chance of showers will decrease Sunday.
We anticipate warmer and drier conditions emerging next week as
strong high pressure builds over the northern Rockies. Look for
steadily climbing temps, with near 90 degrees Tuesday and triple
digit heat a possibility by next Thursday. JKL/Torgerson
