NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
156 AM MST SUN MAR 8 2026
..UNSEASONABLY WARM, DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS TODAY
...COLD FRONT DROPS IN FROM THE NORTH TONIGHT BRINGING COOLER
CONDITIONS AND CHANCES FOR RAIN/SNOW TO START THE WEEK...
DISCUSSION
WARM, DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED TODAY, WITH THE
STRONGEST WINDS FOUND OVER THE WESTERN DISTRICTS (MODERATE TO
HIGH CHANCE FOR WIND GUSTS OF 60-75 MPH OVER THE WESTERN GAP
AREAS). HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE 60S TO AROUND 70
DEGREES. AFTERNOON HUMIDITY WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER TEENS TO
THE 30S PERCENT, LOWEST OVER CENTRAL DISTRICTS AND INTO THE
SOUTHEAST. THE COMBINATION OF UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES, LOW
RH AND WINDY CONDITIONS WILL BRING ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS
FOR THE LOWER ELEVATIONS, WHERE GRASSES REMAIN DRY. A COLD FRONT
DROPPING IN FROM THE NORTH TONIGHT/MONDAY WILL BRING AN END TO
THE STRONG WINDS AND BRING A CHANGE TO COOLER AND MORE ACTIVE
WEATHER. MODERATE TO HIGH CHANCES FOR WETTING RAINS ARE FORECAST
FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LOWER ELEVATION
SNOWFALL AND SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS. PALMQUIST
