BILLINGS — There is very little opportunity for rain or snow in the short term forecast. But temperatures will be warmer than average more often than not.
After starting mainly in the 20s for the lower elevations, afternoon highs Wednesday will reach the 40s and even a few low 50s. The warmest readings will be to the east and south of Billings, with some 30s possible in northeastern Montana and in the Bighorn Basin of northern Wyoming.
A dry cold front moves through the area Wednesday night through Thursday, knocking most of the warmest readings down to the 30s. Temperatures quickly rebound pushing back into the 40s through the weekend.
There may be a few stray showers over the first part of next week, but in general warm and dry conditions will prevail.
