Montana – Wind already sweeps across the Hi-Line, pushing a mild 35-degree morning toward a brief spring tease before winter snaps back. The calm sky hides what’s building.
According to the National Weather Service in Glasgow, west winds increase to 24 to 29 mph today, with gusts as high as 43 mph. Afternoon highs climb to 52 under sunny skies. Travel along U.S. Highway 2 may feel crosswinds, especially for semis and high-profile vehicles.
Temperatures fall tonight into the upper 20s as breezy north winds continue. By Friday, colder air spills into northeast Montana. Highs reach only 36, and snow chances increase after late morning. New snow accumulation stays under a half inch during the day, but conditions deteriorate Friday night.
Snow becomes likely Friday night with a 70 percent chance. Forecasters indicate 1 to 2 inches possible by early Saturday. Roads across Valley County, including stretches of Highway 2 and rural routes, could turn slushy, then icy as temperatures drop to 13 degrees.
Saturday remains colder with a high near 24 and lingering snow chances before skies gradually clear. Saturday night plunges to 12 degrees. Flash freezing is a concern where daytime melting refreezes quickly after sunset.
Sunday rebounds to 35 with sunshine, and Monday jumps to 48 under clear skies. March begins with moderation, and longer-range outlooks suggest above-normal temperatures returning by midweek, with highs pushing back into the 50s.
