Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
255 PM MDT Mon Jul 15 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Thermal belts will see poor RH recoveries (40%) tonight over the
western foothills, otherwise moderate to good recoveries expected
tonight. Overall winds tonight will be light. Weak
shower/thunderstorm activity over southern portions of the
district will bring the potential for gusts up to 35 mph through
late this evening, with winds possibly moving well out ahead of
the precipitation areas. Another push of northeast winds moving
into the area will keep temperatures in the 80s to low 90s and RH
values in the 25 to 35 percent range for most areas, especially
east of Billings. Any precipitation Tuesday will be along the
MT/WY line. Ridging builds into the area for Wednesday through
Friday pushing temperatures back toward 100 degrees for the end of
the week. Low level easterly winds and monsoonal moisture will
keep a chance for afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms in
the forecast each day. Chambers
