BILLINGS — High pressure keeps mainly dry weather in place through the weekend with only very isolated rain showers and light mountain snow expected.
We're tracking our next potential winter storm projected to move through early next week. A trough could bring a couple inches of lower elevation snow Monday into Tuesday. The Beartooths, Absarokas, and Bighorns could receive up to 6" of snowfall. A lot could change by then and probably will. We'll keep you posted.
The winter system will also bring a cool down with daytime highs dipping to the 10s and 20s on Tuesday with overnight lows in the single digits. Temperatures return to more seasonal numbers on Wednesday.
Now, let's talk winds.
