BILLINGS — The weather in the upcoming week is not expected to bring many surprises. It will not be particularly hot, thunderstorms are likely to be non-severe, and the wildfire smoke is not likely to significantly impact air quality.
Expect morning temperatures in the 40s and 50s across eastern Montana and northern Wyoming, with afternoon highs in the 80s and occasionally reaching into the low 90s. These temperatures are typical for August.
Showers and thunderstorms are forecasted throughout the week, especially in the afternoons and evenings. Tuesday stands out as having the highest likelihood of stronger thunderstorms, particularly in eastern Montana, with concerns for strong wind gusts and hail.
Eastern Montana has a 40 to 50 percent chance of receiving 0.25″ of rain or more by midweek, while the chance drops to about 20% for Billings and areas southward into Wyoming.
