BILLINGS — After a few days of very hot temperatures, a cold front will bring some relief on Thursday, although it will still stay quite warm with highs in the mid-80s to low 90s. The front will keep a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the forecast during the afternoon and evening. Deeper moisture is projected to move in, so some areas could receive around a tenth of an inch of rainfall Thursday evening into Friday morning.
Friday is shaping up to be a very pleasant day as the rain moves out, sunshine returns, and cooler daytime highs dip into the 70s. The western foothills may not get out of the 60s.
West-northwest flow will warm temperatures back into the mid-80s to mid-90s across the weekend as conditions stay mainly sunny and dry.
A cold front is forecast to bring cooler temperatures and a chance of rain by the middle of next week.
Nightly lows will be mainly in the 50s and 60s through the middle of next week, but a few areas could dip into the 40s Thursday and Friday nights.
