Flood Watch issued April 28 at 2:36AM MDT until April 28 at 6:00PM MDT by NWS Billings MT

* WHAT…Flooding caused by rain and snowmelt continues to be
possible, but the threat of higher end impacts has decreased.

* WHERE…A portion of south central Montana, including the
following areas, Absaroka/Beartooth Mountains, Beartooth
Foothills, Crazy Mountains, Livingston Area, Melville Foothills,
Northern Carbon, Northern Park, Northern Stillwater, Northern
Sweet Grass, Paradise Valley, Red Lodge Foothills and Southeastern
Carbon.

* WHEN…Through this afternoon.

* IMPACTS…Excessive runoff may result in flooding of streams and
other low-lying and flood-prone locations close to the foothills.
Some roads may become impassable. Any heavy rainfall over the
American Fork or Robertson Draw burn areas could result in Flash
Flooding and Debris Flows.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– Heavy rainfall fell just off the snowpack last afternoon and
evening. Temperatures are beginning to cool over the higher
terrain turning rain to snow over the higher foothills. This
will limit the higher end impact potential that was
previously anticipated. However, there remains the threat of
at least minor flooding in the foothills due to heavy rain
that fell earlier tonight combined with continued light to
moderate rainfall that is forecast through this morning.
Several stream gages are rising rapidly north of Red Lodge
due to this runoff. A gauge near Fishtail reported around 3
inches of rain so far.
