BILLINGS — The upper low that brought much cooler temperatures with rain and snow is moving up into Canada.
Rain will become much less intense today as an upper low moves up in the Manitoba. It will swing a disturbance down, creating a line of showers moving from north to south across the region.

Temperatures will settle into the upper 70s to low 80s through the weekend and early next week for the highs, and mainly 50s for the lows. Nothing more than a few stray showers or general thunderstorms look to develop.
