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

.. 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.
