Glasgow, Montana – Rain and scattered thunderstorms could disrupt travel and outdoor plans across eastern Montana starting Friday afternoon, with conditions worsening into the weekend. Residents near Glasgow and along the US-2 corridor should expect rapidly changing weather and plan accordingly.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and thunderstorms are likely to begin after noon Friday, with the chance of heavier downpours between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. Gusty northwest winds between 10 to 15 mph could make driving difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles. Areas near Fort Peck and Nashua may see localized ponding on roads, with visibility reduced during storm bursts.
Friday night brings continued storm activity, followed by a wetter Saturday. Showers are expected mid-morning Saturday, with more intense storms potentially developing in the afternoon. Though rainfall amounts will vary, the risk of slick roads and low visibility remains a concern into Saturday evening.
Conditions begin to calm Sunday, with partly sunny skies and highs near 80°F, but cooler air and more showers return by Monday. Those attending weekend events or traveling on US-2 should monitor real-time alerts and prepare for potential weather delays. Keep phones charged, secure loose items outdoors, and delay travel during periods of heavy rain.
