BILLINGS- Tuesday is shaping up to be the warmest day for a while, with a better chance of rain to follow.
Expect Tuesday afternoon highs to reach the mid-to-lower 70s with variable clouds and little breezy at times. Mild overnight temperatures only slip to the mid-40s to low 50s.
A disturbance on Wednesday will create a few showers and isolated thunderstorms, and cool high temperatures to the mid-to-upper 60s. That is still warmer than the late April average.
Conditions remain somewhat unsettled with hit-and-miss showers and thunderstorms possible each through the weekend. The best chance of rain comes together on Friday, but again is shows and a few thunderstorms.
While a lot of uncertainty remains, the trend is leaning toward a cooler and somewhat wetter pattern next week.
