BILLINGS- Showers and thunderstorms will continue to be a threat in the afternoons and evenings, at least for now.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to impact southeast Montana in the afternoons, evenings, and into the nights for the first half of next week. Heavy rain is likely with these storms, and large hail and strong wind gusts cannot be rule out at this time.

Temperatures will reach the 90s over the weekend, and the 80s going into next week.

By the last half of the week the trend is toward seasonal temperatures, and a bit lower chance of storms in general.
