537 FNUS55 KBYZ 140822 FWFBYZ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana National Weather Service Billings MT 222 AM MDT Fri Jun 14 2024 .DISCUSSION... Warm temperatures will exist across the region today as minimum relative humidities drop into the 20 to mid 30 percent range. Showers and thunderstorms capable of producing strong and erratic winds, frequent lightning, and brief moderate to heavy rain are expected to develop this afternoon, spreading east through the evening. Chances of wetting rain remain lower due to the isolated to scattered nature of the storms. Saturday will be another warm day with minimum relative humidities in the mid 20 and 30 percent range. Chances of showers and thunderstorms exist again. A cold front passage Saturday evening will cause a wind shift out of the northwest with 20-40 mph wind gusts common. There remains a chance of a more significant weather system (widespread wetting rain) to start next week, with a possibility of mountain snow. However, a good deal of uncertainty remains.
