.DISCUSSION...

Above normal temperatures generally in the 80s and 90s return
today. Minimum relative humidity values in the upper teens to 20s
south of Billings and 20s to 30s north of Billings. Increased
southeasterly winds in the 10s to low 20s mph today will become
northwesterly with a passing cold front. Scattered severe
thunderstorms will develop with this front. Primary hazards are
strong outflow winds of 60-75 mph and hail the size of quarters to
golf balls. Locally heavy rainfall is a secondary risk. Another
disturbance will keep low to moderate chances of wetting rain to
start the week.
