GLASGOW, Mont. – A crisp, star-filled sky stretches over the Hi-Line this Thursday morning as eastern Montana wakes to calm air and a quiet chill. It’s the kind of stillness that hints at change—peaceful for now, but temporary, with wind and cooler air waiting just beyond the weekend horizon.
According to the National Weather Service in Glasgow, sunshine dominates through Saturday, bringing one of the last warm spells before late-fall patterns take hold. Highs climb from the low 60s today to near 70°F by Saturday afternoon. Winds remain light and variable for now, but by Sunday, gusts along the Milk River Valley could reach 25 mph as a cooler system begins to move in.
Travelers on U.S. 2 and I-94 should expect steady crosswinds developing late Saturday into Sunday, especially near open fields and ridge lines. Farmers and ranchers finishing late harvest or hauling equipment should secure lightweight materials ahead of the wind shift.
The mild stretch offers ideal weather for fall cleanup or early Halloween decorating. However, Sunday’s cooldown will start a broader transition, dropping highs back into the 50s with lows around freezing by Monday morning. While snow remains out of the immediate picture, this air mass marks the beginning of a colder cycle that could open the door to early flurries in northern Montana by late next week.
After all, November’s only days away—and for Montana, that means every warm afternoon from here on out feels like borrowed time.
