ESFTFX A moisture rich spring weather system will bring prolonged periods of lower elevation rain and mountain snow to much of Central and North-central Montana through early Thursday. NBM probabilistic guidance supports widespread rainfall amounts in the 1 to 3 inch range over much of Central/North-central Montana, with the highest amounts occurring along and southeast of a Havre to Great Falls line. While impactful flooding is generally not expected, some rivers, creeks,and streams along the Canadian border in Hill and Blaine Counties are expected to approach or reach action stage Wednesday and Thursday, mainly impacting unpopulated rural locations. Additionally, any low lying area that receives heavier rainfall will be susceptible to ground saturation and ponding of water. Anyone near waterways should remain alert for changing conditions and be prepared to seek higher ground should water rises occur. Travelers should anticipate wet roads and the potential for hydroplaning due to ponding of water on area roadways.
