GLASGOW, MT – A calm, golden Friday morning in northeastern Montana will give way to a sharp chill by late Sunday, marking one of the season’s first real temperature drops. While today starts mild under mostly sunny skies, residents should prepare for gustier winds and near-freezing temperatures before the weekend ends.
According to the National Weather Service in Glasgow, highs will climb into the mid-60s Friday and near 70°F Saturday before sliding sharply by Sunday. By Sunday night, readings could fall to the low 30s — the first real hint of frost for much of northeastern Montana. Those with late garden plants or outdoor equipment should take precautions now before colder air settles in.
Saturday stays mostly sunny and mild, with a steady south wind that shifts west overnight. By Sunday, cooler air surges in behind a passing front, bringing brisk west winds up to 25 mph and a noticeable temperature dip. A few light showers or sprinkles may brush through late Sunday, but widespread rain isn’t expected.
Early next week, Monday and Tuesday look seasonably cool, with highs in the 50s and lows dipping near freezing. Skies stay mostly clear, and dry air should dominate through midweek — ideal for final yard cleanups before Halloween decorations go up.
And speaking of Halloween week: early models hint at another chill returning by Thursday night, with trick-or-treaters likely bundling up against 30s and light breezes. For now, enjoy the crisp fall weekend while keeping a watchful eye on Montana’s first brush with frost.
