The forecast for the week ahead looks warm, breezy, and dry. With the lack of snow/precipitation, the warm dry conditions will produced increased grass fire concerns. Temperatures by Thu could approach 70 degrees in some areas, including Billings.
There are signs of a shift in the weather pattern early next week. We do not expect extreme cold or a big winter storm, but confidence is increasing for cooler temps and wetter conditions starting next Monday. Monitor the forecast over the coming days as details become clearer.
