...Increased Snowmelt and Flooding Possible this Week...

Enhanced snowmelt is likely this week as warmer temperatures 
spread into the region. By this weekend, daytime highs will reach 
into the 40s in the mountains, approach 60 degrees in mountain 
valleys, and reach into the upper 70s across the Snake Plain and 
eastern Magic Valley. Additionally, rain on snow yesterday has 
increased melting rates in select areas. Small creeks and streams 
could overflow along with additional ponding of lowland farmland 
where appreciable snow is still left to melt. Resultant flooding 
could impact agricultural interests along with area roads, homes, 
and businesses. Increased releases on small reservoirs are also 
possible, which could produce significant rises downstream on area
streams and rivers. 

Clear snow, ice and debris from culverts and other flow paths to 
allow runoff to flow away from buildings and other vulnerable 
infrastructure. Move deep snow away from the foundations of 
buildings, and move equipment and livestock out of poorly drained
or low lying areas. Remember, if you encounter a flooded roadway,
turn around don't drown, you never know what road conditions are 
hidden under the water.  Report any flooding to county officials.
