Moisture Surge to Bring Rain and Mountain Snow to Billings Area Through Thursday
Snow levels are forecast to drop toward 6,000 feet, increasing the chance for light accumulations in lower elevations.
Overview
- Forecasters expect a moisture push to arrive Tuesday night, bringing valley rain through Thursday across the Billings region.
- Rainfall totals in many lower elevations are projected near one-half inch by Thursday night.
- Snow will build in the high terrain, with southwest-facing Absaroka–Beartooth slopes above 9,000 feet favored for over 6 inches to around a foot.
- The Bighorns may collect up to about 6 inches near Burgess Junction as snow levels trend lower toward 6,000 feet.
- Morning fog and drizzle could reduce visibility and slick roads, especially west of a Roundup–Billings–Sheridan line, with cool 40s–50s highs this week and another unsettled chance Friday before a drier weekend.
