Billings, Montana – Warm, mostly dry conditions will continue through midweek, bringing elevated wind risks and a late-week weather shift.
According to the US National Weather Service in Billings, warm and mostly dry weather is expected Monday through Wednesday, with high temperatures reaching the 50s and 60s across much of south-central Montana.
Forecasters said there is a 30% to 60% chance of light rain Monday, primarily in areas south of Billings. A few light rain showers may develop near the immediate foothills Monday afternoon and evening, with a 10% to 30% chance of measurable rainfall.
By Wednesday, winds are expected to increase, particularly over the foothills west of Billings. The National Weather Service said there is a 40% chance of advisory-level wind gusts reaching 58 mph or higher near Livingston.
A weather system is forecast to arrive late Wednesday into Thursday, bringing a chance of rain over lower elevations and rain or snow across higher hills and foothills. Snow is possible in the mountains. Breezy northwesterly winds and cooler temperatures are expected to follow the system’s passage.
High temperatures later in the week are projected to fall back into the 40s and 50s.
The midweek warmth may benefit outdoor workers and students, though increasing winds could affect high-profile vehicles and travel near Livingston.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updates from the National Weather Service as the system approaches.
