Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northeast Montana
National Weather Service Glasgow MT
203 PM MDT Sun Sep 13 2026
.DISCUSSION...
SE winds gusting up to 30 mph across NE Montana and RH values
reaching a minimum of only 35% will result in little fire danger
today. Wind gusts will increase tomorrow to 40 mph as an upper-level
low passes through the region. However, moisture associated with the
low will produce CWR tonight as well as increased RH values tomorrow,
with a minimum values near 50%. Thus, fire danger will remain low
through the early week. Wednesday, weak ridging will become predominant
over NE Montana while skies begin to clear and temperatures rise.
However, winds will be light and RH values are not anticipated to drop
below 35%, resulting in low fire danger through Friday.
