Glasgow, MT – Flakes are already flying across northeastern Montana this morning as the state wakes under a Winter Weather Advisory calling for 2 to 5 inches of snow and gusts near 35 mph. With Thanksgiving travel now underway, those driving through the Hi-Line region should expect reduced visibility and slippery highways through early Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Glasgow, snow will persist through the day before tapering late tonight. Areas including Wolf Point, Sidney, Malta, and Glasgow are expected to see the highest totals, while winds from the northwest could create brief whiteout conditions across open stretches of U.S. Highway 2. The combination of falling and blowing snow will make roadways slick, particularly on bridges and rural routes.
Travelers are urged to slow down, keep extra distance, and pack emergency supplies as temperatures dip into the upper teens. The storm marks another reminder that Montana’s early winter is settling in for the season. While skies will clear by Wednesday, highs will stay cold — struggling to reach the upper 20s through Thanksgiving Day.
The holiday itself should bring calmer weather across the region, though another light snow chance is expected by Friday. For now, the focus remains on safe travel today and tonight as the first significant snow event of the week moves through.
Five-Day Outlook for Glasgow, MT:
Tuesday: Decreasing clouds, high 30°F, low 10°F.
