Montana – The morning air in Glasgow feels sharp and still, with single-digit temperatures and a biting north wind signaling that winter has arrived for good. Light clouds stretch over the Hi-Line as a late-week snow system takes shape, ready to spread across northeastern Montana by Thursday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Glasgow, snow chances increase to 30% Thursday night, rising to 70% Friday as colder air deepens across the region. Up to 1–2 inches of accumulation are possible through Saturday, with areas of freezing fog reducing visibility to near zero at times. Drivers should prepare for icy conditions and limited traction, especially on Highway 2 and local rural routes.
Wind chills between -5°F and -20°F will make the air feel brutally cold, even as actual temperatures hover in the teens and low 20s. Meteorologists caution that refreezing on roadways may lead to black ice, especially during morning and evening commutes.
By Sunday, partial sunshine returns, but temperatures stay below freezing—keeping surfaces slick and slow to melt. The early-December chill looks to hold into next week, with another potential snowmaker developing midweek across eastern Montana and western North Dakota.
