Hydrologic Outlook issued May 11 at 11:18AM MDT by NWS Billings MT
ESFBYZ Expect very warm temperatures through Monday. Enhanced snowmelt in the mountains will continue to increase flows on area rivers and streams through the first part of the week. While flooding is not anticipated on larger rivers and streams, there is a chance that some smaller streams could reach bankfull in and near the foothills, producing minor flooding. At the very least, stream flows will be much higher with the increased snowmelt. Water rises will occur first on small streams flowing out of the foothills, eventually arriving on larger rivers and streams. The rate and magnitude of the water rises
