Glasgow, Montana – Residents across northeast Montana should brace for potentially dangerous flash flooding as rounds of heavy rain and thunderstorms threaten the region through Sunday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Glasgow, a Hydrologic Outlook remains in effect as slow-moving storms are likely to dump significant rainfall starting Thursday night and continuing daily through the weekend. Forecasters warn of localized flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas, creeks, and small streams that could rise quickly with repeated downpours.
The heaviest rain is expected between Friday evening and Sunday afternoon, with cities including Glasgow, Wolf Point, Scobey, and Malta all at risk. Eastern Montana highways like U.S. Route 2 and rural county roads may see ponding or closures if flooding worsens. Gusty winds up to 25 mph could also accompany these storms, further complicating travel and outdoor plans.
Residents are urged to avoid driving through flooded roadways and to report flooding to local law enforcement. Keep phones charged in case of power outages and monitor local alerts as conditions evolve.
More watches or warnings may be issued as rainfall totals increase. The Hydrologic Outlook remains active through Sunday evening.
