BILLINGS — Temperatures continue to stay colder-than-average along northern and eastern Montana. And wind remains a factor to the west of Billings.

Temperatures have been dropping Thursday evening. Lows in the single digit and teens to the east of Billings with breezy conditions lows in the 20s from Billings westward are once again anticipated early Friday.

Fog in the river valleys could be concern east of Billings through the morning and maybe midday. Afternoon highs in the 30s are expected east of Billing and 40s from Billings to the west and south seem reasonable.

Winds will continue to gust 20 to 40 mph in the Livingston / Nye / Big Timber / Harlowton areas off and on for a least the next several days. Saturday trends a little warmer overall.

By late Saturday through Sunday, showers will develop. That could mean mountain snow, and rain and/or snow in the lower elevations. Early Sunday, there are concerns about freezing rain, and that could cause serious travel problems.
