  Big Sandy Creek at Havre affecting Hill County

.Snowmelt across Hill and Blaine Counties will continue river levels 
to remain at or near Minor to Moderate flood stage for at least the 
next few days. Slightly cooler temperatures yesterday and over the 
next couple of days will likely help limit additional snowmelt 
temporarily, which has already caused river levels to level off or 
fall. However, increased water release from Fresno Reservoir may 
cause further level rises later this week.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Great Falls, MT wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 15, 9:16 AM MDT, 29 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 15, 9:16 AM MDT, 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Great Falls MT
916 AM MDT Sun Apr 15 2018

.UPDATE...

Today's forecast remains in good shape. Clouds are increasing
across the area, with a band of showers moving across western
Montana. Breaks in cloud cover across central Montana are expected
to destabilize the atmosphere just enough to produce scattered
showers and thunderstorms later this afternoon. The Areal Flood
Advisory has been expanded to include Judith Basin and Fergus
counties based on spotter reports of lowland flooding and the
latest NOHRSC snowmelt analyses. Snowmelt is causing rises on
creeks and streams, with a flood warning issued for Big Sandy
Creek in western Hill County.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

Temperatures will continue to warm today, with highs a few
degrees above normal in the mid to upper 50s. Unstable air
combined with a warm front will bring scattered showers and
thunderstorms today...with some gusty winds and small hail
possible. A strong Pacific cold front will then move through the
region on Monday. Expect cooler temperatures as a result, along
with rain and snow in the mountains, and a chance for
thunderstorms over Central Montana. Monday's thunderstorms could
be strong at times, producing gusty winds and small hail.

&&

.AVIATION...
Updated 1200z.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms could bring brief MVFR
conditions today.

Scattered clouds and mainly VFR conditions will be found
throughout this morning. A moist SW flow then develops today with
increasing clouds and an increased threat of SHRA/TSRA to much of
the area. Thunderstorms could bring some gusty winds at
times...and perhaps some small hail. Confidence remains low to
moderate for thunderstorm timing. Used PROB30 groups to account
for this uncertainty and any sites that see thunderstorms could
see gusty winds near 30 knots. Shower and thunderstorms will then
diminish in coverage this evening. Another round of showers may
return late tonight...with some patchy fog also possible ahead of
an approaching cold front. Anglin

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
/Updated 345 am, April 15/

Big Sandy Creek near Havre continues to rapidly rise and is now
well into Moderate flood stage...and perhaps could continue to
rise into Major Flood stage. Satellite imagery shows a large area
of snow that likely melted more quickly today, running right into
the creek. This is likely what has contributed to such a rapid
rise. The Hill County Sheriff's Office has confirmed numerous
reports of flooding across the county which is more evidence of
the rapid runoff from that area of snow. The Flood Warning has
been updated to reflect the more rapid rise being seen. Additional
updates are likely as the level continues to rise.

Elsewhere, flood highlights continue for much of North Central MT.
Warmer temperatures through today will allow the snowmelt to
continue. In addition, there will be an increased risk of showers
and even a few thunderstorms Today/Monday which will add to the
snowmelt, potentially increasing runoff in some areas. River/creek
levels will continue to be closely monitored in case any
additional river flood warnings are required. General lowland
flooding will remain a threat, especially in the Flood Advisory
areas. Martin/Anglin

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 553 AM MDT Sun Apr 15 2018/

Today through Tuesday...Large upper level low will start to push
inland across the nw coast today. This will result in a moist and
unstable southwest flow for the region. A weak warm front then
sets up by this afternoon. This frontal boundary combined with
some modest cape and shear for this time of year will bring our
first fair shot at thunderstorms for the spring. Gusty winds and
perhaps some small hail will be the main threats with this
thunderstorm activity. A few snow showers are also possible
today...although snow levels look to be above 7000 feet.
Temperatures today will be near to slightly above normal. Some
areas may even get close to 60...although generally 50s are
expected across the region. The mentioned low moves further inland
tonight through Monday...pushing a cold front across the region.
Rain and snow showers will will be found for much of western and
southern portions through Monday morning...with snow levels
perhaps as low as 5000 feet. A few areas of patchy fog will also
be possible ahead of this front tonight into early Monday
morning. This cold front then meets modest cape and ample shear
from a strong jet stream Monday afternoon. The result will be
chances for more scattered thunderstorm activity...especially
across central portions. With slightly more cape on Monday...a few
stronger storms are possible...with winds and hail the main
threats. Temperatures on Monday will be slightly below
normal...except for areas ahead of the cold front in the central
and eastern portions. These warmer areas will also be the better
areas for thunderstorms. Cold front then moves across the region
quickly Monday night. Downsloping westerly flow looks to limit
precip across the lower elevations...with some mountain snow
possible. Eventually this large low moves into Canada on
Tuesday...bringing moist nw flow to the region on Tuesday. This
could result in scattered rain and snow showers. Snow levels cold
even lower to 4000 feet or lower on Tuesday. Temperatures will
also continue to be below normal on Tuesday...with highs in the
40s to low 50s expected. Anglin

Tuesday Night through Sunday...Scattered, mainly mountain rain and
snow showers will likely linger over the forecast area Tuesday night
under an unsettled northwest flow aloft left in the wake of the
Monday/Tuesday system. Weak high pressure will then keep the area
dry Wednesday into Wednesday night, as temperatures remain below
normal. The next low pressure system to affect the area will stay
well south of the area as it moves east over the Great Basin on
Thursday and over the central/southern Rockies Thursday night.
Moisture wrapping around this system will bring scattered showers to
the southern half of the forecast area during this time, but the
northern half should remain dry. Another weak area of high pressure
will build into Montana Friday into Friday night to keep the area
dry with continued below normal temperatures. Temperatures will then
warm back closer to normal ahead of an approaching low pressure
trough and associated Pacific cold front, but this system will bring
another round of scattered rain and mountain snow showers with gusty
southwest winds for Saturday into Saturday night. Breezy conditions
will continue into Sunday in the wake of the system, but it will be
drier with slightly cooler than normal temperatures once again.
