BILLINGS — The active weather week experienced a brief pause on Friday in much of Montana and Wyoming, with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms still present. The weather will quiet down again tonight, but only temporarily. Expect variable clouds, seasonable overnight lows, and a fairly calm Saturday morning before another trough of low pressure arrives.
The upcoming storm this weekend will bring enough instability and moisture to generate scattered rain showers and thunderstorms on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon and evening. While no total washout is expected for weekend plans, it’s advisable to keep an eye on the sky in case showers develop in your area.
Memorial Day will be brighter and warmer, though lingering breezes from Sunday will persist. Tuesday is likely to be the warmest and brightest day for most of the region due to a ridge of high pressure, but a trough of low pressure from the Pacific will bring gusty winds and daily shower chances late next week.
