Billings, Montana – Isolated severe thunderstorms could roll across central and eastern Montana between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. Monday, raising the risk for heavy rain and strong wind gusts near 65 mph.
According to the National Weather Service in Billings, Monday’s threat is higher than recent days, with scattered storms likely to develop during the afternoon and early evening. The main hazards include localized downpours and damaging winds, especially east of Billings toward Miles City and Glendive. While large hail and tornadoes are not expected, any storm could briefly disrupt travel or outdoor plans.
Communities such as Roundup, Forsyth, Hysham, and Hardin should stay weather aware and have a reliable way to receive warnings, especially if heading outside late in the day. Outdoor events may need to move indoors on short notice. Drivers should also watch for sudden heavy rain or low visibility on highways like I-94 and US-212.
The risk will diminish by late evening as storms move east of the region. Additional advisories may be issued if the threat level increases.
