Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
923 AM MDT Tue Mar 26 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Updated to increase chances of snow showers, mainly west of Miles
City, through the day. Scattered snow showers will impact western
zones today, with localized minor snow accumulation. Temps should
rise to the lower 40s along the foothills while 20s and 30s hold
for one more day elsewhere. Expect seasonable temps and lower RHs
Wednesday and Thursday as a ridge briefly builds in from the west.
A Pacific cold front will bring scattered lower elevation rain
showers and some mountain snow Thursday afternoon and night. We
anticipate cooler and wetter conditions Friday through the
weekend, with wet snow possible at lower elevations. Arthur/JKL
