...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 and Lemhi County, Idaho, 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. The precipitation rates will briefly decrease Tuesday
afternoon, before second surge of moisture arrives Tuesday night
into Thursday. During the second surge, snow levels will be lower,
ranging from 4,000-5,000 feet north of I-90, to 5,000-7,000 feet
south of I-90, with the highest snow levels across Lemhi County,
Idaho. By Thursday, significant precipitation totals are forecast,
with 1 to 3 inches in the valleys and 4 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 is possible. Storm drains and ditches may

...RIVER RISES AND INCREASED RISK FOR MUD AND ROCK SLIDES THIS
WEEK...
A series of warm, wet, and breezy weather will bring periods of high
mountain snow and heavy low to middle elevation rain to the central
and southern Idaho Panhandle mountains Monday through Wednesday.
Snow levels will fluctuate between 5000 and 7000 feet. Lower
elevation snowmelt in addition to the rain will lead to rises on
small creeks and streams. This will also bring an increased risk for
mud and rock slides in areas of steep and susceptible terrain.
