Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
231 AM MDT Thu Jun 13 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Easterly surface winds will prevail today as high pressure builds
overhead. Temps will be a little cooler today and RH readings not
quite as low in some sections of east central Montana as they were
Wednesday. Look for temps ramping back up for Friday with some of
our warmest readings so far this season (mid 80s to lower 90s).
Humidity readings will be in the upper teens and 20s. Scattered
showers/thunderstorms are expected to track west to east over the
districts Friday into Friday night. Some storms could be strong
to severe and produce considerable lightning. Warm temps and a
chance of thunderstorms continues through the weekend. There
remains a chance of a significant weather system (widespread
wetting rain) impacting our region Monday-Tuesday with the
possibility of some snow in the high country. However, a good deal
of uncertainty exists yet with that system. BT
