.DISCUSSION...

Near to below normal temperatures in the 60s and 70s will exist
today with minimum RHs in the mid teens north of Billings and 20s
to low 30s south of Billings. Breezy conditions will accompany the
lower RHs to the north and along the western foothills with 15 to
35 mph westerly winds common. Expect winds to decrease and turn
out of the northeast tonight. Chances of wetting rain increase
Monday into Tuesday across the area as a potentially more
significant weather system moves in. This system will keep
seasonally cool temperatures in the forecast for Monday and
Tuesday. Mountain snow above generally 7000 ft is also forecast
during this time. Arends
