Glasgow, Mont. – Warm, sunny weather dominates eastern Montana this weekend, but increasing winds could make travel tricky on U.S. Highway 2. Drivers and residents should prepare for breezy afternoons both Saturday and Sunday before cooler air moves in by the first days of October.
According to the National Weather Service in Glasgow, Saturday will reach 83 degrees under full sun with winds gusting up to 22 mph. Sunday climbs even warmer to 88 degrees, but stronger gusts up to 20 mph will keep conditions breezy, especially for high-profile vehicles along open stretches of Highway 2.
Friday stays comfortable, topping out at 76 degrees with calmer winds, offering the best travel day ahead of the weekend. By Monday, temperatures ease slightly to the upper 80s before a noticeable change midweek. A weak system may bring clouds and a slight chance of showers late Tuesday into Wednesday, with highs falling back into the mid-70s.
The first days of October could mark the beginning of Montana’s cool-down, signaling an early taste of fall after several unseasonably warm afternoons. For now, residents should enjoy the sunshine while monitoring changing conditions that may impact road safety and outdoor events.
Warnings remain limited, but officials urge caution on windy routes and remind drivers to secure loose equipment around farms and ranches. More updates will be issued if stronger winds or early-season chill develop next week.
