Temps Range From Record Highs To Snow

Following record high temperatures at the National Weather Service station in Glasgow last week, including a high of 58 degrees Nov. 28, cold and snow set in over the weekend.

According to NWSG lead forecaster Ted Jamba, a shift in the jet stream precipitated subzero temps and snow accumulation “The jet stream that was to our north on Dec. 1 dropped to our south,” said Jamba. “A storm system brought generally 4 to 6 inches of snow to areas north of the Missouri River with about an inch south of the river.”

Temps dropped below zero in the double digits following the Saturday snow storm. On Dec. 7, lows remained below -2.

At press time, Jamba said temps will rise as the week progresses. “We’re expecting low pressure to move east across Saskatchewan with a warm front moving east across northeast Montana. Temperatures Wednesday will be a lot warmer with highs in the low 40s,” Jamba said.
