Hey Glasgow! If you’ve been holding out for a sunny spring weekend, you might want to put that on pause. Starting Friday and sticking around through Sunday, we’ve got a stretch of classic early spring weather heading our way—light rain, cool temps, and plenty of wind to keep things interesting.
It won’t be a total washout, but it’ll be the kind of weekend where you glance out the window, sigh, and grab an extra layer before heading out.
What’s the Weekend Weather Looking Like?
Friday: Clouds roll in early, and by the afternoon, we’re likely to see scattered showers pop up. Nothing heavy, but enough to make you glad you wore that rain jacket. Winds will start to pick up too—just enough to make your umbrella rethink its life choices.
Saturday: The chilliest and breeziest day of the weekend. Expect more on-and-off light rain, with daytime highs barely scraping the 50s. Add in winds gusting up to 30+ mph, and it’ll feel colder than it really is. Basically, great weather for coffee runs and cozy indoor plans.
Sunday: The morning might offer a short break in the clouds, but don’t count on it lasting. Light showers return by afternoon, and those winds? Still sticking around. Not quite “hunker down” weather, but definitely a good excuse to keep things low-key.
About That Wind…
This isn’t just a gentle breeze—it’s more of a “hold onto your hat” situation. We’re looking at steady 15–25 mph winds, with gusts pushing even higher at times. Expect loose items to tumble across yards and porches, and driving—especially on open roads—might feel a little dicey, especially if you’re in a high-profile vehicle.
So, What Should You Wear?
This is a weekend for layers, waterproof everything, and probably some cozy socks. Here’s your go-to gear list:
-
Rain jacket with a hood (umbrellas are optional, depending on how brave you are in the wind)
-
Boots or waterproof shoes (puddle-proof your feet!)
-
Warm base layers (it may not be freezing, but it’ll feel cool with the wind and rain)
-
Hat/gloves if you’re out early or late in the day
Make the Most of a Cozy Weekend
So yeah—it’s not ideal for bonfires or backyard BBQs, but there’s still plenty to enjoy. This weather screams slow mornings, extra coffee, maybe a visit to a local bookstore or café, or even a Netflix binge under your favorite blanket.
And hey, if you’ve got some spring cleaning to do indoors, the weather’s giving you a great excuse to stay home and check that off your list.
Got kids? Toss on their boots and let them go splash around for a bit. It’s messy, fun, and totally what spring is made for.
A Silver Lining (Yes, Really!)
All this moisture is actually good news for the land. These spring showers are exactly what local farms and gardens need to get a strong, green start. So while it might feel a little dreary this weekend, just remember—it’s helping bring back those Montana greens we’ve all been missing since winter.

Light rain Friday through Sunday

Winds 20–30 mph with stronger gusts
