National Weather Service Billings MT
208 PM MDT Fri Oct 3 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected through
the evening. Storms will be weak but could produce erratic wind
gusts, mainly close to the mountains/foothills.

Significant change in the weather pattern over the weekend as a
powerful weather system moves across the region. Expect several
inches of snowfall in the higher elevations of all mountain ranges
with widespread rain at the lower elevations. Snow levels could
get as low as 5500-6000 ft for the latter part of the weekend.
Most of the region should see 0.50-1.50" of liquid precipitation.
