COUNTY...

At 602 PM MDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy
rain over the NorthRemingtonMcGhee Burn Scar. Flash flooding is
ongoing or expected to begin shortly. Excessive rainfall over the
burn scar may result in debris flows. The debris flows can consist of
rock, mud, vegetation and other loose materials.

HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms in and around the
         NorthRemingtonMcGhee Burn Scar.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Flooding of areas in and downstream of the
         NorthRemingtonMcGhee Burn Scar.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Birney and Birney Village.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

This is a life threatening situation. Heavy rainfall will cause
extensive and severe flash flooding of creeks...streams...and ditches
in the NorthRemingtonMcGhee Burn Scar. Severe debris flows can also
be anticipated across roads. Roads and driveways may be washed away
in places. If you encounter flood waters...climb to safety.

Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles. Do not drive on or attempt to cross flooded
roads, find an alternate route. Roads and driveways may be damaged or
washed out in places.

Remain alert for flooding of creeks, streams, and normally dry
coulees even in areas not receiving rainfall downstream of the burn
area. These can become raging killer currents in a matter of minutes
even from distant rainfall upstream.

Please report observed flooding to local emergency officials and
request they pass the information to the National Weather Service in
Billings.

Hydrologic Outlook
National Weather Service Great Falls MT
228 PM MDT Fri May 29 2026

What: Heavy heavy rainfall Saturday into Monday.

Where: Greatest impacts will be along and west of the I-15 corridor
of North-Central MT.

Timing: The window for the heaviest rainfall will be between
Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning. Here, rainfall rates of
0.5" to 0.75" every 6 hours are possible. Light to moderate rainfall
lingers through at least Monday.

Details:

Rainfall amounts range from 1 to 3 inches for the area, with a 10%
chance for 4 inches along and west of the I-15 corridor. Additional
snowmelt runoff from the Rocky Mountain Front can enhance creek and
river rises including but not limited to the Sun River, Marias
River, and Saint Mary River. Low lying-areas and poor drainage areas
are also at risk for flooding. Rural dirt roads will be susceptible
to become washed out or impassable.

Due to increasing confidence in flood impacts, a Flood Watch was
issued for areas along and west of the I-15 corridor for
North-Central MT Saturday through Monday. Rivers and creeks are
expected to crest Monday, which can linger impacts for areas prone
to river/creek flooding. Areas farther east of the I-15 corridor are
expected to see lesser flood impacts.

Everyone is reminded that should flooding develop, regardless if the
roadway is paved or not, do not drive through any flood waters, as
you do not know if the road has been washed out under the flood
waters.

Please monitor the National Weather Service or the local media this
weekend for further updates on this spring storm.

 What: Widespread Moderate to Heavy Precipitation

 Where: West-Central Montana Counties: Missoula, Ravalli, Granite and
 Powell.

 Timing: Saturday May 30 through Monday June 1, 2026

 Relevant factors:
        Total precipitation amounts of 0.5 to 2 inches with locally
        higher amounts possible in higher terrain along the Divide.
        Ongoing snowmelt and recent precipitation has kept stream and
        river levels rising. Anticipate further rises in local
        waterways, rockfall and mudslide potential in steep terrain,
        as well as possible urban and low-land flooding.
