...POTENTIAL FOR LOWLAND FLOODING INCREASES THROUGH THIS WEEKEND...
ANOTHER ROUND OF WARM WEATHER FOR EASTERN IDAHO IS FORECAST THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. HIGHS WILL PUSH BACK INTO THE 50S AND LOW 60S FOR VALLEY LOCATIONS. THIS WILL INCREASE SNOW MELT AND RUNOFF
POTENTIAL. AS THIS MOVES OVER FROZEN AND OR SATURATED
GROUND....LOWLAND OR SHEET FLOODING IS QUITE POSSIBLE. THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO FOR THIS WILL BE FLOODING OF OPEN FIELDS WHICH SPREADS ACROSS ROADS ADJACENT TO THEM. SOME RISES IN WATER LEVELS ON AREA STREAMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.
IF YOU SEE FLOODING OCCURRING...PLEASE REPORT THIS TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
