A high-pressure Ridge will bring sunny and dry conditions across the area today. Billings could be close to record high temperatures on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, before storm system arrives Sunday evening.

Generally light winds today, with plenty of sunshine. Highs will range from the 50s East of Billings, to the mid to lower 60s from Billings to the West.

Mostly clear overnight, with temperatures mainly in the 30s early Saturday. With a mild start, temperatures will rise quickly tomorrow as the Ridge become centered through the Rocky Mountain West.

A few clouds moving into the area tomorrow may hold this a bit shy of a record high temperature for Saturday. The Billings airport would have to reach 71, and on Sunday reach 68°. Both of those previous records were set in 1987.
