Billings, Montana
Off to Montana, which makes all meteorologists' hearts sing with joy, because this forecast will be so easy. /rolls eyes
At 1054PM, MT, Billings was reporting rain with a temperature of 57 degrees. A weak perturbation in the jet was generating an area of low pressure over Wyoming, which in turn was kicking up showers and thunderstorms over eastern Montana. The severe weather was mostly out of the area, but rain was continuing on the back end of the low ad would likely persist for the area for a few more hours.
The trough that was bringing about the low pressure and the active weather will be enhanced in the near term as another jet will poke into the Pacific Northwest. This upper level support will interact with thermal influences to create broad low pressure over the Rockies. The flow over the Rockies will induce some lee side troughing in Montana which will exasperate the rainy, stormy conditions for Billings for the next couple of days.
