Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
230 AM MDT Wed May 1 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Cool and unsettled weather will persist through Friday. Mountains
will see periodic accumulating snow, while lower elevations are
impacted by mostly light rain/snow showers. The weekend is looking
warmer and drier, with temps near 80F possible over eastern zones
by Sunday. Looking further ahead, though there is great
uncertainty in details, a stronger weather system has potential to
produce significant rain and mountain snow early next week. This
is something to watch over the coming days. JKL
