    Event:Flood Watch
    Alert:
    ...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT 
    FROM 3 PM MDT THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON... 
    The National Weather Service in Great Falls has issued a 
     
    * Flood Watch for a portion of southwest Montana, including the 
    following areas, Broadwater, Gallatin, and Jefferson. 
     
    * From 3 PM MDT this afternoon through Wednesday afternoon 
     
    * Minor flooding is already occurring across portions of this 
    region. However, with afternoon temperatures expected to be 
    around 50 degrees over the next few days, the flooding could 
    become more widespread and impactful. 
     
    * With frozen ground surfaces and waterways, combined with 
    culverts and ditches full of snow, poor drainage of the snowmelt 
    is possible, causing some flooding impacts. Additionally, 
    unpaved roads will become muddy, possibly becoming impassable 
    for some vehicles.
     

    A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
    Target Area:
    Broadwater
    Gallatin
    Jefferson

    DEEP & UNDER THE BANK
    ..The near term forecast calls for more warm temperatures and a rain/snow mix. 
    .. City crews are searching for our drains as puddles become ponds. The ponds may become lakes. It should prove interesting if overnight temperatures fall to below freezing.
    .. The piles get darker. The piles melt quicker. The wet gets wetter.
