BILLINGS – Typical June temperatures with afternoon thunderstorms to start the week. But a significant cool down comes later.
Gusty winds, small hail, and brief heavy rain are possible with thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening. The good news is, most of the storms look to stay in the higher elevations west of Billings.
There is a better chance of isolated strong to severe storms later in the day on Tuesday, and the storms will be more widespread. Afternoon storms will pop up again Wednesday.
High temperatures to start the week will be in the 70s, with 70s to low 80s on Tuesday and Wednesday. Lows will be mainly in the 50s for the lower elevations.
