BILLINGS — Clear, cool, and calmer to start Thursday with a big warm up Friday.
Expect a quiet Thursday with sunshine and a few clouds. Most importantly, winds are much lighter with some stronger gusts in the Livingston area mountain foothills. But nothing close to the winds of recent days.
High temperatures will reach the mid-40s to mid-50s Thursday, with lows in the upper 20s to upper 30s early Friday. Friday afternoon, highs soar to mid-50s to possibly 70 in a few locations.
There will be grassland fire concerns again Friday with very warm temperatures, low humidity, and at least breezy conditions.
Springtime temperatures in the mid-to-lower 60s remain on Saturday, but showers Saturday night signal a cool down to 35 to 45 on Sunday.
Billings forecast:
Thursday… Sunny to mostly sunny with a high near 53. Southerly wind 5 to 15 mph.
Thursday night… Partly cloudy. Westerly 10 to 20 mph. Low of about 39.
Friday… Mostly sunny and close to 67 for the high.
