Billings, Montana – Isolated severe storms could drench southern Montana this evening, with the heaviest activity expected between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m. Wednesday, particularly near the Montana-Wyoming border. Heavy rainfall may trigger flash flooding in low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Billings, the threat of widespread severe weather has diminished, but localized downpours, hail, and gusts up to 60 mph remain possible—especially along I-90 from Billings to Sheridan. The strongest cells are forecast to develop in the late afternoon and move eastward into the evening.
Cities like Red Lodge, Cody, and Sheridan should stay alert for sudden weather changes, including hail and lightning. Motorists are urged to avoid flooded roadways, and residents should prepare for possible power outages. If you’re planning to be outdoors, know your shelter options and have a way to receive warnings.
Though this system is expected to weaken overnight, additional weather advisories could follow if rainfall rates intensify. Stay tuned to local alerts as conditions evolve.
