BILLINGS — The low that has been bringing the rain, mountain snow, and strong winds will slowly makes its way east toward the Central Plains on Thursday taking all of that activity with it.

It will still be windy this morning with gusts well over 30 mph, but this will ease as the day progresses. Expecting breezy conditions moving forward.
High pressure begins to move in late Thursday, bringing dry and warm conditions Friday through the weekend.
As for next week, models differ on dry and warm weather staying put or more moisture and cooler temperatures returning. We'll keep you updated.
