Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
442 AM MDT Fri May 3 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Temps today will remain below normal, but with only isolated
showers and no thunder. NW winds will not be as strong as
yesterday. The weekend is looking warmer and drier, with 70s to
lower 80s by Sunday. The warmup will be short-lived as confidence
is high that a dynamic spring storm system will impact us early
next week...with significant rain and mountain snow, and strong
winds. Please continue to monitor over the coming days. BT
