Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT

.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. Arends
