Hydrologic Outlook issued February 21 at 4:45PM MST by NWS Billings MT
ESFBYZ A deep and wet snowpack exists across the forecast area. 1 to 4 inches of water is locked in this snowpack. Warmer temperatures forecast over the coming days will increase snowmelt, releasing this water. With the ground frozen, water will not be able to soak in and will run off. Water flowing overland and accumulating in low lying areas may result in localized flooding. Water flowing into creeks and rivers will increase the potential for ice jam development and may result in additional flooding near waterways. Localized impacts from snowmelt may be ongoing over the western foothills and valleys.
