BILLINGS — An upper-level trough approaching from the Pacific Northwest Friday and Saturday will cross northern Montana Sunday into early Monday, ushering in above-normal atmospheric moisture and bringing a good chance for scattered to numerous afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms throughout the weekend. Some showers may linger into the overnight hours as well. A few storms could turn strong to severe. It will gradually get cooler, too, with daytime highs falling into the mid-70s to low 80s (even some 60s) by Sunday.
Looking ahead to next week, upper-level southwest flow will keep the region locked into an unsettled weather pattern, with a low chance of daily afternoon showers and thunderstorms while temperatures warm back up to near seasonal, or slightly above average, generally in the mid to upper 80s.
