Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Glasgow MT 204 PM MST Sun Mar 2 2025 .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGES: - After today, more seasonable temperatures are expected through midweek. - Light precipitation is expected Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning in the form of rain quickly transitioning to snow. - A dry and slow warm up begins Wednesday into the weekend. WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: An upper ridge over the region will break down today as the upper low off the California coast moves onshore. As the low transitions through the Four-corners region, it is phased with a trough in the Canada flow, and will pull colder air into the state. While the main focus for weather across the West will be the development of a Colorado low, warm moist air will be transported northward to meet the colder Canadian airmass. This bring bring an increasing chance for precipitation to the region from Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning. There could be a brief period of rain as the precipitation moves east, but should quickly transition to snow. Accumulations will be generally light, with around an inch or less of snow expected for most of the region. Temperatures will bottom out on Tuesday at near normal values, then begin to recover on Wednesday as the upper ridge rebounds across the west. The pattern supports temperatures approaching record warmth by the weekend, with the NBM 50th percentile currently matching the record high of 65 at Glasgow on Sunday. Depending on winds, marginal fire weather concerns are not out of the question by then. FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: No deviations were made to the base forecast at this time. However, potential adjustments to temperatures this week will be due to snow cover and to capture the unusual warmth. Confidence is high for widespread light snow Monday night and much warmer/drier than normal conditions late in the week. && .AVIATION... FLIGHT CAT RANGE: VFR - IFR DISCUSSION: Clouds will overspread the area starting this evening and there is medium confidence from 10-17Z for patchy freezing fog impacting KGGW and KOLF with IFR ceilings. By the end of the TAF cycle around 00Z, an area of light snow approaches from the west with widespread ceilings/visibility dropping back to at least MVFR. && .HYDROLOGY... Yellowstone River: The Flood Watch remains in effect for the Yellowstone River for Dawson and Richland counties. The Dawson county DES reported yesterday afternoon that there is a large ice jam upstream of Glendive that has shown signs of moving as river spotters have heard "popping and shifting". This is similar to what happened in 2014 when there was a sudden rise in levels in the Glendive area and brought substantial flooding. Poplar River: The advisory was cancelled due to the water level below action stage and slowly falling. Milk River: Witnesses and gauge data were observing rising levels from Saco to Nashua. Inflow from creeks upstream still remain high (Frenchmen in particular) has contributed to rising levels at the gauge on the Milk in Saco. A forecast will be available for the next couple of days at the Glasgow gauge. && .GGW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flood Watch through Monday afternoon for Dawson-Richland. && weather.gov/glasgow
