Glasgow, MT – A changing weather pattern across Valley County will bring gusty winds, fluctuating temperatures and several dry afternoons through the coming week.
According to the National Weather Service in Glasgow, Tuesday, Nov. 10, could bring west northwest wind gusts as high as 29 mph.
The stronger winds follow a cooler Monday, when temperatures are expected to reach only 53 degrees.
Monday Brings a Cooldown Across Northeast Montana Monday begins a stretch of changing temperatures, with increasing cloud cover and a high near 53 degrees.
West northwest winds should range from 5 to 9 mph before becoming lighter during the afternoon.
However, gusts could reach 18 mph.
Monday night brings mostly cloudy skies and temperatures falling to approximately 35 degrees.
That puts parts of Valley County close to the freezing mark, especially where local temperatures fall below the official Glasgow reading.
Residents should protect sensitive outdoor plants and prepare for chilly early morning conditions.
Tuesday's Wind Could Become the Main Weather Concern Tuesday brings a noticeable warmup, with temperatures climbing to approximately 58 degrees.
Mostly sunny skies should dominate, but stronger winds may create brisk conditions.

Wednesday night remains mostly clear, with temperatures falling to approximately 35 degrees.
