GLASGOW, Mont. – After a damp and cloudy stretch midweek, a bright, breezy turnaround is on the way for northeast Montana just in time for the weekend. Cooler air hangs around Thursday, but by Saturday, the region rebounds with crisp sunshine and highs near 60 degrees—perfect for pumpkin patch visits or leaf-peeping drives along U.S. Highway 2.
According to the National Weather Service in Glasgow, Thursday brings scattered rain through late afternoon before skies gradually clear Friday. Northwest winds gusting up to 20 mph could make Thursday feel brisk, but drier air quickly settles in behind the system. Valley and Phillips counties can expect improving visibility and milder conditions by Friday morning.
Saturday stands out as the best day for outdoor plans, with sunny skies, light winds, and highs reaching the low 60s. Sunday stays pleasant, though clouds may thicken late as a weak front approaches from the west. Drivers should watch for crosswinds along I-90 and U.S. 2 through the weekend, especially during afternoon gusts.
Residents are encouraged to check local forecasts frequently, secure outdoor decorations, and plan travel early in the day while winds are lighter. Early next week looks quieter, though temperatures could dip again toward midweek, reminding residents that Montana’s first frost of fall may not be far off.
