BILLINGS — More summertime conditions for the rest of the week.

Tuesday in general will be about 8 to 12 degrees cooler than Monday afternoon’s highs. But readings will still run in the mid-80s to low 90s, a little above seasonal averages.

Clouds will increase a bit through the afternoon, with isolated late evening and overnight showers and thunderstorms mainly in the mountains and rippling onto the plains. The storms could cause some wind gusts.

Wednesday and Thursday will trend just slightly warmer than Tuesday. Overnight temperatures will be in the 50s to low 60s and highs lean mainly in the upper 80s to mid 90s.

Late Thursday, a cold front will scatter showers and thunderstorms and cool temperatures Friday to the mid-to-lower 80s. Highs will stay mainly in the 80s and lows mainly in the 50s to about 60 through the weekend and early next week.

Billings forecast:

Tuesday… Sunny and hot with a high near 90. An easterly wind 5 to 15 miles an hour.

Tuesday night… Partly cloudy with a low of about 60.

Wednesday… Sunny and warmer with a high around 93.
