Hydrologic Outlook
None

ESFTFX Despite cooler temperatures expected this week, the recent string of warm daytime and mild overnight temperatures has spurred an increase in high elevation snowmelt, resulting in within bank rises on some creeks and upper tributary rivers near the mountains. Scattered precipitation through Monday may add to some localized runoff but widespread precipitation expected to develop across primarily central and southwest Montana Tuesday and Wednesday is likely to fall as snow at elevations where a lingering snowpack exists. Significant rises are not expected on larger rivers, but some creeks and small rivers in the mountains and adjacent foothills may reach bankful early this week and remain elevated. Some locations that are approaching bankful and bear watching include: Badger Creek in Glacier county, Belt Creek in Cascade county and the Gallatin River. Stay tuned to the forecast for any watches, advisories, or warnings. Please report any flooding to local law enforcement and have them relay the report to the National Weather Service.
