The potential for thunderstorm activity will begin to increase on today. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon and evening, especially west and south of Billings, with the strongest storms near the foothills. Some storms may produce locally heavy rain, strong wind gusts and small hail. There is a very slight risk of severe thunderstorms again Saturday. Remain alert if you have outdoor plans the next couple of days!
A prolonged period of above normal temperatures will continue through the weekend and into next week. The hottest of the next few days will be Sunday, when some record highs could be broken. There is also a slight chance of thunderstorms Saturday and again early next week. Make sure to hydrate frequently, apply sunscreen, and wear light colored clothes with these warm temps.
River levels will steadily rise through early next week, due to high elevation snow melt. Higher water levels with faster flows are possible along with increased bank erosion. Use extra caution when fishing and boating and move equipment and livestock our of low lying areas near waterways.
