Only light totals expected in Billings and areas east. The northern Bighorns could receive 2-4” tonight through Friday. There is also a chance of freezing rain in eastern Montana tonight through tomorrow morning. The weekend will be dry.
Our next system could bring rain and snow on Monday. Too early to tell what may happen beyond that.
Strong crosswinds will increase today with gusts up to 60 mph possible from Livingston to Nye. Gusts up to 50 mph possible from Harlowton to Big Timber through tonight. Blowing and drifting snow could impact travel in these areas.
