Montana – Headlights glow softly through mist this morning as freezing fog clings to low spots across northeastern Montana. The air feels damp and cold, and visibility drops suddenly along rural stretches outside town.

According to the National Weather Service in Glasgow, patchy freezing fog and mist continue through the morning hours. Temperatures sit in the mid-20s, cold enough for moisture to freeze on contact. Visibility may dip below a mile at times, especially near rivers, open fields, and low-lying roads.

In and around Glasgow, slick patches can form quickly on untreated streets, bridges, and highways like U.S. Highway 2. Drivers should slow down and be prepared for sudden changes in visibility. Conditions gradually improve late this morning as clouds thin and temperatures climb into the mid-40s.

By Thursday, sunshine takes over and temperatures jump into the low 50s. That warmth may feel welcome in February, but it comes with a tradeoff. Snowmelt during the day can refreeze after dark, raising the risk of icy spots each morning and evening. Keep an eye on shaded roads and parking lots.

Friday brings another round of patchy freezing fog early, followed by mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-40s. The weekend trends even milder. Saturday and Sunday both reach near or above 50 degrees, signaling a brief break from winter’s grip.

Looking ahead to early next week, clouds increase and rain chances return, with a slight risk of a rain-snow mix during cooler periods. Longer-range signals point toward above-normal temperatures late next week, hinting that a broader warming trend may take hold across Montana.

Plan extra time for travel this morning and stay alert where fog lingers. Are you seeing slick spots or low visibility near your neighborhood?
