Rain Returns to Glasgow! Here’s When to Expect Showers and Strong Winds
Glasgow, MT – Residents in northeastern Montana should brace for a shift in the weather as rain makes a comeback Monday night, along with gusty winds up to 24 mph. While the weekend brought calmer and drier conditions, the start of the work week could feel a bit more unsettled.
Evening Showers Expected to Roll In
Forecasters say a weak weather system moving into the region could bring light to moderate rain showers to Glasgow by Monday evening. While not a washout, the chance of rain is around 40%, with showers most likely between 6 PM and midnight.
“We’re not expecting anything too intense,” said a meteorologist from the National Weather Service in Glasgow. “But residents should still keep an eye on the skies. Some areas could see brief showers and increasing winds during the evening.”
Winds Pick Up Across the Region
In addition to the rain, winds are expected to pick up as the system moves in. Gusts could reach up to 24 mph, especially in open areas and higher elevations. While the gusts aren’t severe, they may create minor travel difficulties, especially for high-profile vehicles.
Temperatures are expected to dip slightly, with overnight lows dropping into the upper 30s, making it feel a bit chillier, especially with the wind chill factor.
What This Means for Your Monday Night Plans
If you’re heading out Monday evening—whether it’s commuting, walking the dog, or catching a late dinner—it might be smart to pack a light rain jacket. Umbrellas could be tricky with gusty winds, so windbreakers or hooded gear are better options.
Outdoor plans may need a rain check, but the showers are expected to move through quickly, and Tuesday is forecasted to be dry with increasing sunshine throughout the day.
Looking Ahead: More Spring Showers?
This isn’t the last we’ll see of rain this week. Forecasters are tracking another system that could bring additional showers by late Wednesday or early Thursday, although it’s too early to predict exact timing or totals. For now, Tuesday looks like a pleasant reprieve, with temperatures rebounding to the low 60s under partly cloudy skies.
