060 FXUS65 KGGW 051744 AFDGGW Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Glasgow MT 1044 AM MST Thu Nov 5 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Low clouds and patchy fog are expected for portions of the area through noon before dissipating. - Seasonable temperatures are expected to continue for the next several days. - Temperatures will warm by Sunday across NE Montana as high temperatures push into the 50s and 60s. && .DISCUSSION... The fog is slowly dissipating across the area in river basins. A light west wind tonight will most likely keep the fog at bay. Look for seasonable weather to continue before an upper trough approaches the region to finish out the week along with a surface cold front. Ensembles continue to keep much of the QPF southwest of the CWA. Thus, will maintain a dry forecast for now. Over the weekend, upper ridging looks to rebound with dry weather conditions and warming temperatures. Highs across NE Montana for Sunday will reach into the 50s and 60s. This will be short lived however, as the next cold front will bring in breezy conditions Sunday night and cooler temperatures for Monday. FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: NBM held the line for this forecast cycle with mostly dry weather conditions and little in the way of major temperature swings, save for warmer temperatures on Sunday. Therefore, little in the way in deviation was needed. && .AVIATION... LAST UPDATED: Thursday November 5, 2026 at 1830Z. FLIGHT CAT RANGE: For KGDV and KSDY, airport shutdown through 19Z.
