Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
221 AM MDT Sun Sep 13 2026

.DISCUSSION...

...Low level jet across SE MT and NW SD Sunday evening...
...Brisk westerly winds Monday...

Gusty southwest winds (to 40 mph) and drier conditions (relative
humidity of 20-25%) are expected today over the higher terrain of
south central Montana including the Gallatin and Beartooths. This
will produce elevated fire weather conditions for the high
elevations of the Gallatin National Forest district. Brisk
southeast winds (30-45 mph) are expected over the Montana/Dakotas
border region, as a low level jet forms this evening. Showers and
a few thunderstorms spread across the area tonight with a cold frontal
passage. Tonight there is about a 30% chance for wind gusts to at
least 50 mph across the Beartooth foothills due to mountain wave
activity. For Monday, expect dry conditions and brisk west winds.
Gusts 30-40 mph will be common across the districts, with 45-55
mph possible from Big Timber north through Judith Gap. While a few
showers are possible mid week, a weather system towards the
latter half of the week looks to be the next potential for
widespread precipitation. BT/TS
