NWS Missouri Basin River Forecast Center Pleasant Hill MO
Thursday May 23, 2013

Scattered showers lingered across eastern portions of the Missouri
River Basin while a mix of rain and snow fell across the Rocky
Mountains of Montana and Wyoming during the past 24 hours.  The
heaviest precipitation was associated with the precipitation over
the mountains.  Rainfall estimates of 0.50 to 1.00 of water equivalent
were common in the higher elevations.

Several 24-hour reports of one inch or more of precipitation ending
at 12Z Thursday include:

This mix of rain and high elevation snow will continue today across
mainly Montana. Precipitation amounts will approach 0.75 inches in
the montains.  Elsewhere, isolated showers are possible across Kansas
and Nebraska.  A better chance for rain will move into Nebraska, Iowa
and surrounding areas for Friday and Saturday.

At the moment flooding is occurring on the Blackwater River near Blue
Lick, MO and on the Marmaton River near Nevada, MO.  Due to past
rainfall and the slow response of the James River, flooding is still
expected near Columbia and Stratford, South Dakota in the coming weeks.
