That means low temperatures will drop into the 20s and 30s for places like Billings, Bismarck, Minneapolis and Denver Monday.
Daytime temperatures in the area will be about 10 to 20 degrees below average, with many locations only getting into the 30s to the north with 40s and low 50s farther south.
