...NEAR RECORD HEAVY PRECIPITATION TO BRING SMALL STREAM RISES, RISK
FOR ROCK AND LANDSLIDES, AND MINOR FLOODING THIS WEEK...
A prolonged atmospheric river is expected to bring periods of heavy
rain for western Montana Monday night through Thursday. Rising snow
levels will lead to a rain-on-snow event for elevations below 7,000
feet Monday night into Tuesday morning. Precipitation rates will
briefly decrease Tuesday afternoon before a second surge of moisture
arrives Tuesday night into Thursday. During the second surge, snow
levels will be lower initially, ranging from 3,500 to 5,000 feet
with some slushy snow accumulations across northwest Montana
valleys, but will then rise to 6,000 to 8,000 feet Wednesday into
Thursday. By Thursday, significant precipitation totals are
forecast, with 1 to 4 inches in the valleys and 5 to 8 inches in the
mountains, with locally higher totals over mountain crests.
Landslides in areas of steep terrain and minor flooding in urban and
poor-drainage areas are possible. Storm drains and ditches may
become clogged with debris. You may want to preemptively shovel snow
away from your homes. Watch basements for moisture intrusion.
