ESFBYZ The second week in June typically sees the peak for snowmelt and river flows over our region. Warm temperatures over the past week have enhanced snowmelt in the mountains, resulting in high flows on area waterways. Automated snow measurements show snow melting out at a quick but near normal pace at most locations that still have snow (generally above 8000 feet). While flooding is not imminent on most larger rivers and streams, many smaller streams in the foothills will be near bankfull over the next week. Localized minor flooding can not be ruled out along these smaller creeks and streams. The Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River has a Flood Watch in effect from late Sunday night into Tuesday. The probability of minor flooding is around 40 percent during this time. Please see the latest flood watch statement for details. Those with interests along area waterways should be prepared for high water levels and move property and livestock away from rivers, streams, and low lying areas. Bank erosion will make shorelines unstable. Do not walk near stream banks as the underlying soil may be eroded. Do not allow children to play near the water's edge, and be sure to have them wear life jackets if anywhere near flowing water. Foothills runoff may fill culverts, ditches, and storm drains causing water to flow over roadways potentially causing damage. Do not drive over flooded roadways, Turn Around Don't Drown. Recreationists in the mountains and foothills should be prepared for changing conditions and use extra caution when near waterways. Flows will be fast, and the water is cold. Fishing access sites may become inundated by high water. Stay tuned to the forecast. Please report any flooding to local law enforcement and have them relay the report to the National Weather Service.
