Glasgow, MT – Morning air hovers near 31°F across the Hi-Line under a clear sky, but winds gusting near 15 mph make it feel closer to 20°. The cold start belies a milder stretch ahead — at least for a few days. Veterans Day will bring plenty of sunshine and calmer winds before another chilly push arrives by the end of the week.
According to the National Weather Service in Glasgow, Tuesday’s highs will reach near 54°F under mostly sunny skies — ideal for parades, outdoor ceremonies, and travel across northeastern Montana. Winds will stay light through midweek, though breezy conditions return by Thursday as a new Pacific system begins sliding east.
By Friday, the system brings clouds and a 20% chance of rain during the morning hours. While no snow is expected for the plains just yet, forecasters note that a colder air mass will follow closely behind, dropping temperatures back into the 20s by Friday night.
The pattern marks the region’s first significant shift toward a winter-like setup — a familiar November rhythm of warmth, wind, and an eventual chill. Residents planning weekend travel or outdoor cleanup should take advantage of the midweek calm, as another “winter tease” is likely to linger into the weekend.
For now, enjoy the sunshine — Montana’s next cold snap is never too far behind.
