The weather outlook appears to be leaning toward higher temperatures than normal for the region, according to National Weather Service meteorologists. During the weather-ready briefing for eastern Montana and northern Wyoming last week, meteorologist Scott Rozanski of the Glasgow station said that the Glasgow area experiences higher temperatures of 1 to 5 degrees above normal during September.

The Poplar Volunteer Fire Department and a local water tender were paged to a fire at an abandoned house near Brockton School Saturday morning. PVFD chief Victor Grant told the Northern Plains Independent that the department was paged out around 7:30 a.m. and had fire extinguished by 10 a.m. Nobody was hurt. The cause of the fire is under investigation. (Photo by James Walling)
