Glasgow, Montana – Heavy clouds will roll into Glasgow this Saturday, July 26th, threatening summer plans as thunderstorms are set to break up the sunshine. Residents and anyone traveling US-2 should be prepared for fast-changing weather, with the risk of showers and dangerous lightning late Saturday and again Sunday.

According to the National Weather Service, a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms moves in by Saturday night, following a warm, sunny day with highs near 91°F. Winds will shift northeast in the evening, signaling changing conditions that could catch drivers off guard. Anyone heading out for weekend activities or road trips should plan ahead, keep an eye on radar, and avoid flooded low spots if storms develop.

Sunday brings continued uncertainty, as morning sun gives way to more scattered showers and thunder—some storms could bring gusty winds. Stay weather-aware, especially on exposed roadways like US-2 and rural routes around Valley County. Lightning and sudden downpours may disrupt outdoor events and create slick conditions. For those with outdoor plans, consider backup options and stay ready to shelter if thunder roars.

Looking into next week, Monday and Tuesday will see cooler highs near the low 80s, with more showers possible Monday night. The area will dry out by midweek, with mostly sunny skies and summer warmth returning Wednesday through Friday.
