...WARM TEMPERATURES THROUGH THURSDAY MAY LEAD TO FLOOD IMPACTS FROM
EFFICIENT LOW AND MID ELEVATION SNOWMELT...
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO RUN WELL ABOVE AVERAGE THROUGH
THURSDAY, INCREASING LOW AND MID ELEVATION SNOWMELT AND RUNOFF.
STANDING WATER IN TYPICAL LOW SPOTS CAN BE EXPECTED, AND WE'LL ALSO
LIKELY BEGIN SEEING THE SWELLING OF SMALLER CREEKS AND TRIBUTARIES
THAT FEED THE LARGER STREAMS AND RIVERS. THIS MAY EVEN PUSH SOME
STREAMS AND CREEKS ABOVE BANKFULL CAUSING MINOR FLOODING AND BANK
EROSION DUE TO THE HIGHER FLOWS.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ANOMALOUSLY WARM UNTIL A COLD FRONT PASSAGE
THURSDAY. EVEN THE OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL STAY ABOVE FREEZING THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT, WHICH WILL EXACERBATE SNOWMELT RUNOFF.
A COOLDOWN IS FORECAST TO ARRIVE THURSDAY NIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY DIPPING BACK DOWN TOWARD NORMALS, AND OVERNIGHT
LOWS 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.
