BILLINGS — We can expect plenty of sunshine on Tuesday with high pressure and zonal flow maintaining dry and warmer-than-usual conditions. Temperatures will reach the 80s in most areas, possibly even hitting the 90s. Expect occasional gusty winds between 15-30 mph.
A Flood Advisory is still in effect on Tuesday for parts of south-central Montana due to heavy rain and snow melt causing elevated stream levels. Flooding is possible along streams and creeks.
Wednesday will remain dry with temperatures about 10° above average, staying mainly in the 80s, with potential for low 90s in some places. It may also get windy with gusts up to 30 mph from the west, particularly in the western foothills.
A weak cold front is expected to pass through on Wednesday, bringing a slight chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms. Highs will stay in the 80s with a chance of some areas hitting the 90s.
Thursday will see a slight cooling in daytime temperatures with dry conditions persisting, and highs in the 70s and 80s.
On Friday, southwest flow will bring a slight chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms west of Billings before spreading across the region by evening. With daytime heating, temperatures could reach the lower 90s, increasing the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms.
Saturday will continue with southwest flow, maintaining a slight chance of rain and slightly cooler temperatures in the lower 80s.
Sunday and Monday will be cooler with highs in the 60s and 70s as another cold front moves through the region. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible on both days.
