Expect a hot day in Ballantine with temperatures climbing to 99°F and isolated afternoon thunderstorms possible, though air quality remains good. The Fourth of July festivities are in full swing across the Billings area with fireworks celebrations planned in both Laurel and Billings, plus popular music events including Sara Evans performing at The Pub Station. Meanwhile, the local sheriff's office is seeing budget growth thanks to staffing increases, and community programs are offering free stories, lunch, and books to kids in parks this summer.
