Glasgow, MT — Montana drivers should brace for slick roads and colder temperatures Friday morning as a mix of rain and snow targets Glasgow, particularly along U.S. Route 2. The wintry shift could complicate travel and bring scattered precipitation through the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, rain showers are expected to begin before 11 a.m. Friday in Glasgow, followed by snow through noon. Winds from the north could gust up to 20 mph. While snow accumulation is expected to remain light, reduced visibility and slushy roads could create hazardous travel conditions, especially on major routes like U.S. Route 2 and Montana Highway 24.
Friday night will bring a drop in temperatures to the mid-20s with cloudy skies. By Saturday, snow showers return with a 40% chance of accumulation and highs reaching only 40°F. Winds from the east at 10 mph may increase the chill. The weekend wraps up with a slight chance of snow Sunday and temperatures holding steady in the low 40s.
Looking ahead to next week, Glasgow residents should prepare for more wintry precipitation. Monday through Wednesday brings off-and-on chances of rain or freezing rain. Daytime highs will climb to the low 50s by Tuesday, though overnight lows will hover near freezing.
What You Can Do:
- Use caution during Friday morning’s commute.
- Allow extra time if traveling east or west along U.S. Route 2.
- Stay updated through local alerts and keep winter gear in your vehicle.
