Montana — A thin layer of freezing fog hangs low across the eastern plains this morning, softening headlights and leaving crisp glitter along fence lines as Glasgow wakes to 20-degree air. Roads remain mostly dry, but that fog could tighten visibility fast, especially on rural stretches where the light is slow to reach the fields. Travelers heading out early for Thanksgiving plans should prepare for delays and give themselves extra braking distance.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy freezing fog may linger through early morning before sunshine breaks through and nudges temperatures toward the mid-40s. Calm winds limit mixing, so pockets of reduced visibility may shift east and southeast through mid-day. Anyone driving farm-to-town routes or school traffic corridors should stay alert; quick changes may occur near low-lying ground and river bends.
Friday brings a brighter, steadier feel. Sunshine lifts highs near 49, and breezes remain gentle. For now, that keeps travel straightforward heading into Saturday, when a mild, late-fall warm-up sets in. Highs near 51 and light winds will help residents tackle holiday errands, outdoor decorating, or final leaf cleanup before temperatures wobble again next week.
Models hint at an early Winter Tease as Thanksgiving approaches elsewhere in the U.S., with colder air sliding into the central and eastern states. Montana stays relatively stable through the weekend, though minor changes are possible early next week. A slight chance of rain or a brief snow mix late Monday remains on the table, especially if colder air arrives a few hours faster than expected. No significant accumulation is expected at this time.
Five-Day Outlook (Glasgow, MT):
• Today: Sunny, 44°
• Friday: Sunny, 49°
• Saturday: Mostly sunny, 51°
• Sunday: Mostly sunny, 53°
• Monday: Slight chance of rain/snow, 46°
