Hydrologic Outlook issued May 7 at 2:39PM MDT by NWS Billings MT
ESFBYZ Warm temperatures are forecast through early next week. This is expected to increase snowmelt across area mountains, resulting in a significant increase in flows on area rivers and streams by this weekend. While flooding is not anticipated on larger rivers and streams, there is a chance that some smaller streams and creeks 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 and creeks flowing out of the foothills, eventually arriving on larger rivers and streams.
