Flood watch issued for northwest Montana

June 9, 2022

An areal flood watch has been issued for the Kootenai/Cabinet, Flathead/Mission Valleys, the Lower Clark Fork and the Bitteroot Valleys of Montana, in effect from Saturday evening through Monday afternoon.

One to three inches of rainfall is expected across the region as an atmospheric river brings intense precipitation. Excessive runoff may result in flooding of creeks, streams, rivers and low-lying areas. In addition, mudslides, debris flow and landslips will be possible.
