BILLINGS — Another dry day is on tap ahead of rain tonight as a strong cold front sweeps through. We’ll keep a chance of rain in the forecast through Friday. Snow may mix in early Friday morning. Billings could pick up about a tenth of an inch of rainfall. Some spots west, east, and south of Yellowstone County could get upwards of .50" or more.
