153 FXUS65 KGGW 012011 AFDGGW Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Glasgow MT 111 PM MST Sun Mar 1 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Dry and increasingly mild conditions through Wednesday. - Chances for precipitation return Thursday. && .DISCUSSION... WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Upper ridging is beginning to build over the Northern Rockies and Northern High Plains, nudging temperatures upward through Wednesday to above normal levels for early March. The large scale subsidence also allows for mostly dry weather conditions for the next several days. By Thursday as the ridge flattens and translates east, a more dynamic split flow pattern will emerge over the western CONUS. Ensemble consensus begins to decline at these later time stages, but early signs point to temperatures lowering to near normal, increased chances for precipitation and windy conditions at times. FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: The base forecast was used for the forecast period, with the exception of some near term edits to add resolution for winds. There is high confidence in the pattern through midweek for relatively warm and dry weather, before model solutions diverge to give slightly lower than average confidence late in the week. && .AVIATION... LAST UPDATE: 2000Z FLIGHT CAT RANGE: VFR DISCUSSION: Clear skies and dry weather through the TAF cycle. WINDS: Generally WSW winds below 10 kts becoming light and variable through the night. Light, NE winds less than 10 kts tomorrow. && .GGW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ weather.gov/glasgow
