Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
306 AM MDT Tue May 7 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A powerful storm system will continue to impact the districts
through midweek. Look for another day of strong winds today across
most of the area with gust 50-60 mph common. Widespread rainfall
will again target mainly eastern districts. Snowfall will take a
break in the high country today before heavy snow returns to the
Beartooths and Big Horns late tonight through Wednesday night
with well over a foot of wet snow for north facing slopes. Lower
elevations will see mainly rainfall with the eastern districts
(Yellowstone east including Sioux Ranger, Custer, Ashland Ranger)
up to 0.5-1 inch of additional liquid precipitation through
midweek (probability 30-60% >1.00 inches). The weather system
will gradually exit to the southeast later in the work week with
warmer and drier conditions by the weekend. BT
