BILLINGS — Depending on your location, temperatures will be at or warmer than average this week. And the warmest areas will be the windiest.
Areas east of Billings, from Forsyth to the Dakotas, will still wake up to temperatures in the single digits and teens early Tuesday. The rest of the area will be in the 20s with a few low 30s.
By Tuesday afternoon, expect 30s and 40s east of Billings with mid-40s to mid-50s elsewhere. The sky will stay clear to partly clear.
Winds will be brisk in the Livingston / Nye / Big Timber / Harlowton areas with gusts of 40 to 60 mph possible. This area will stay breezy to windy through the weekend.
Evening though Wednesday looks slightly cooler overall, the trend is mainly dry and mild. Saturday looks like the warmest day, just before a cold front arrives.
That front will bring a chance of rain and snow showers to the lower elevations from Saturday afternoon through Sunday with mountain snow. At this point, accumulations look to stay light.
The front will also produce gusty winds. As usual, check back for updates with a weather system that far out.
