Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
115 PM MDT Sun Aug 3 2025

.DISCUSSION...

A few thunderstorms (mix wet/dry) will be over mainly the southern
half of the district this afternoon into early evening. A quiet
overnight expected, with strong RH recoveries outside of
foothills zones where thermal belts will stay in the 50 percent
range. A Pacific front will move through the area late Monday with
an increased chance for mainly wet thunderstorms (a few may be
severe). Ahead of the front temperatures reach the lower 90s but
easterly winds will keep RH values in the 25 to 35 percent range.
Westerly flow will push RH values lower Tuesday and Wednesday,
with continued thermal belt dryness, and provide mainly dry
conditions. Another stronger Pacific system begins to impact the
area Thursday afternoon with increasing shower and thunderstorm
chances. Temperatures Friday through Sunday may stay in the 70s
for highs with this system along with good wetting rain chances
Thursday night into Saturday. Chambers
