Glasgow, MT – As snow showers are expected to roll into Glasgow, Montana on Wednesday, April 2, residents and travelers should brace for disruptions. A wintry mix of snow and rain is forecasted throughout the day, with the heaviest snow anticipated between noon and 3 p.m. Local roads, including U.S. Highway 2, may become slick and hazardous as snow accumulates. Winds gusting up to 28 mph could exacerbate the conditions, reducing visibility and complicating travel.
According to the National Weather Service, Glasgow is expected to experience light snow overnight, with temperatures dipping to around 32°F. The snow will mix with rain by early morning, creating a slushy, potentially dangerous road surface. By midday, snow showers will intensify, with up to an inch of accumulation possible in some areas. Residents are advised to avoid unnecessary travel, particularly between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., when snowfall is expected to peak.
In addition to snow, the region will experience cold winds from the east, reaching gusts of up to 28 mph. These winds will create a wind chill factor, making it feel colder than the actual temperature. Anyone heading out should dress in layers and cover exposed skin to prevent frostbite.
Looking ahead, the forecast indicates that snow showers will persist into the evening, gradually clearing by Thursday morning. Temperatures will stay cold, with lows dipping to around 26°F.
