Glasgow and much of northeast Montana will see a stretch of sunshine that builds into rising heat as the new week begins. Daytime highs, comfortable this weekend, will climb toward the upper 80s by midweek, prompting safety reminders for outdoor workers and drivers on U.S. Highway 2.
According to the National Weather Service in Glasgow, Saturday brings sunny skies with a high near 78. By Sunday, August 24, highs hover around 76 before warmer air arrives Monday. Winds remain light, but afternoon breezes may increase to near 10 mph. Overnight lows stay cool in the upper 40s and low 50s, giving some relief before hotter afternoons return.
Residents should prepare for extended sun exposure, especially Tuesday through Thursday, when highs range from 85 to 87 degrees. Local officials urge residents to stay hydrated, limit strenuous activity during peak afternoon heat, and check on neighbors without air conditioning. Travelers on U.S. 2 should keep extra water in vehicles and expect heat shimmer that can reduce visibility on long stretches of highway.
Farmers and ranchers in Valley County should monitor livestock closely as conditions trend hotter through midweek. Although no storms or rain chances are forecast, the dry air and sun could stress crops and pastureland.
By Wednesday, August 27, northeast winds may offer slight relief, but highs will still reach the upper 80s. With clear skies dominating, no rain is expected through at least Thursday.
Warnings remain minimal, but continued sunshine and building heat could lead to advisories if the trend continues into next weekend.
