Montana – Light flakes already swirl through a cold, gray sky across Glasgow this morning, hinting at the winter punch still to come. The air feels heavy and damp, the kind that bites at exposed skin and settles into gloves. By evening, snow will intensify—ushering in the region’s first significant December snow event of the month.
According to the National Weather Service, a Winter Weather Advisory goes into effect at 8 p.m. Friday and lasts through noon Saturday. Total snow accumulations between 2 and 4 inches are expected across much of northeast Montana, including Glasgow, Wolf Point, and surrounding communities. Winds could gust up to 25 mph, creating blowing snow and sharp wind chills. Drivers should plan for slick and snow-packed roads, especially on Highway 2 and local rural routes.
Snow continues into early Saturday before tapering to flurries by midday. Temperatures will struggle to reach the mid-teens, and wind chills may dip below zero at times. Conditions will slowly improve by late afternoon as skies partially clear, revealing a bright but frigid evening.
Sunday brings mostly sunny skies with highs around 20 °F, providing a brief window for cleanup before another round of unsettled weather returns. Monday night may see a wintry mix as a new front edges into the northern plains—potentially the start of a broader pattern carrying into Dec. 11–17, when models suggest multiple snow systems tracking through the northern tier states.
As early-winter weather takes firm hold, motorists should stay alert for flash-freezing conditions on bridges and open stretches. Even minor melting during daylight can quickly refreeze at dusk.
