GLASGOW, Mont. – Morning frost glints across parked trucks and wheat fields as a steady southeast breeze cuts through the chill. At sunrise, Glasgow sits at 28°, and the wind already hints at the day ahead. Flags ripple along Highway 2 as the National Weather Service in Glasgow keeps a Lake Wind Advisory in effect through Thursday evening, warning of gusts up to 35 mph.
According to meteorologists, strong southerly winds will build through the day, making for brisk travel conditions along Fort Peck Lake and open stretches of U.S. 2 and MT-24. Boaters are urged to avoid rough water, and drivers should secure light trailers or equipment. Despite the breeze, skies will stay bright, and highs climb into the upper 50s—mild enough for late-fall fieldwork and outdoor errands.
By Thursday, winds ease slightly under sunny skies, with highs near 52°. Halloween Friday looks calm and dry, bringing near-perfect trick-or-treat conditions across Valley County. Afternoon readings hover in the mid-40s before dipping into the 30s by evening. Costumes may need a jacket layer, but winds stay light, and visibility remains excellent for families walking neighborhoods or attending outdoor school events.
The weekend will turn warmer, with highs pushing into the lower 60s Saturday and upper 50s Sunday before another breeze returns. To be fair, it’s an ideal stretch for Halloween plans—crisp, quiet, and quintessentially Montana.
After all, clocks fall back at 2 a.m. Sunday, ushering in earlier sunsets and a chilly November pattern waiting just beyond the horizon.
