BILLINGS — Rain showers and mountain snow has begun and will continue through early Wednesday. The best chances for precipitation is through Tuesday night.
The Bighorn Mountains are expected to see a foot to 18 inches in the higher north-facing peaks. Mountain foothills could record a couple of inches on up to 5 inches of snow.
Snow showers or a rain-snow mix are possible at lower elevations during the overnight or early morning hours. Little or no snow accumulation is expected over the plains.
The bulk of the moisture will stay from Billings southward, with rain and snowfall estimates increasing in Wyoming.
We get a short break from showers on Wednesday. Otherwise scattered light showers are possible across the area through the next week.
While the chance of rain and snow will go up and down over the week, the temperatures are consistent. Lows will drop to the 20s and low 30s. Highs will run in the mid-40s to mid-50s daily in the lower elevations.
