A mix of rain and snow is expected to sweep into the Billings, Montana area this weekend, with a significant chance of snowfall beginning Friday night and continuing into Saturday. The National Weather Service has forecasted a wet start to the weekend, as rain transitions into snow overnight, potentially leading to slippery roads and reduced visibility on Saturday.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service, precipitation is expected to begin as rain on Friday evening, with temperatures dropping enough to bring snow into the mix late at night. Accumulations are expected to be light, with less than half an inch projected, but drivers should remain vigilant as wet surfaces could become hazardous as temperatures hover near freezing.
Saturday’s weather will start with rain and snow in the morning, gradually clearing up by the afternoon. Daytime highs will remain in the low 40s, while temperatures dip below freezing overnight, possibly creating icy spots on roads and walkways by Sunday morning. Residents and travelers are encouraged to check local road conditions and use caution on icy surfaces.
Following the snowy start, Sunday is expected to bring clearer skies with mostly sunny conditions and highs near 49°F. However, the brief break in winter conditions may be short-lived, as the potential for more unsettled weather looms in the coming days.
To stay updated on changing conditions, locals are advised to follow updates from the National Weather Service and prepare for potential travel disruptions this weekend as winter weather begins to settle in across Montana.
