...FLOOD IMPACTS REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH TONIGHT DUE TO EFFICIENT
LOW AND MID ELEVATION SNOWMELT...
ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES THURSDAY PRECEDING COLD FRONT PASSAGE
WILL MAINTAIN LOW AND MID ELEVATION SNOWMELT AND RUNOFF. STANDING
WATER IN TYPICAL LOW SPOTS CAN BE EXPECTED, AND WE'LL ALSO LIKELY
SEE SWELLING IN SMALLER CREEKS AND TRIBUTARIES THAT FEED LARGER
STREAMS AND RIVERS. THIS MAY EVEN PUSH SOME STREAMS AND CREEKS ABOVE
BANKFUL CAUSING MINOR FLOODING AND BANK EROSION DUE TO THE HIGHER
FLOWS.
DESPITE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE THURSDAY, OVERNIGHT LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING FOR MOST AREAS THURSDAY
NIGHT, CONTINUING THE RUNOFF. TEMPERATURES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY DIP
BACK DOWN TOWARD NORMALS, AND OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE BACK TO NEAR
FREEZING BY SATURDAY MORNING. THIS COOLDOWN, HOWEVER, WILL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY INCREASING RAIN CHANCES WHICH COULD ADD TO THE RUNOFF
CONCERNS.
STAY AWAY FROM FAST MOVING WATER, SWOLLEN RIVER BANKS, AND NEVER
ATTEMPT TO CROSS FLOWING WATER OVER ROADWAYS.
