RIVER LEVELS DROPPING IN SW MONTANA River gauges on the Gallatin river and Yellowstone river from Corwin Springs and Livingston all have dropped below flood stage. That is not the case downstream as that high water continues to work through Billings toward Miles City.
A significant warm-up is on tap for Thursday and Friday with daytime highs climbing to near 90° by Friday. While that will bump the flow numbers on our area streams and rivers, it does not appear at this point that we will see flood concerns as high as it was earlier in the week when we saw substantial rain combined with melting snowpack. We do have rain moving in along with cooler temperatures over the weekend.
