Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northeast Montana
National Weather Service Glasgow MT
209 PM MDT Wed Jul 16 2025
.DISCUSSION...
The precipitation and cool temperatures this week have put a
hamper on fire weather potential across much of eastern Montana.
While there is a trend towards warming and drying of the
atmosphere, especially in terms of humidity, the daily chances of
light rain from Sunday onward, and a overall weather pattern not
conducive to strong winds, will tend to keep fire weather risk low
for the next seven days.
