...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...
THE FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR...
* A PORTION OF NORTHEAST MONTANA...INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING
  AREAS...CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST PHILLIPS...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
  VALLEY...DANIELS...EASTERN ROOSEVELT...GARFIELD...MCCONE...
  NORTHERN PHILLIPS...NORTHERN VALLEY...PETROLEUM...SHERIDAN...
  SOUTHWEST PHILLIPS AND WESTERN ROOSEVELT.
* THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT.
* THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IS EXPECTED ACROSS
  NORTHEAST MONTANA STARTING THIS MORNING...DUE TO ANOTHER ROUND
  OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. THE RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF
  TUESDAY BUT IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME FOR ALL THE WATER TO DRAIN
  OUT INTO THE CREEKS AND THEN INTO AREA RIVERS. THIS WILL LEAD TO
  HIGHER WATER AGAIN THROUGH THIS WEEK ON THE MILK AND YELLOWSTONE
  RIVERS IN NORTHEAST MONTANA.
* WITH SOILS ALREADY SATURATED ACROSS THE REGION...ADDITIONAL
  EXPECTED RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER
  AMOUNTS WILL FURTHER AGGRAVATE FLOODING CONCERNS AND MAKE
  NUMEROUS AREA ROADWAYS...ESPECIALLY GRAVEL AND DIRT ROADS
  IMPASSABLE. ANYONE TRAVELING DURING THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND MAY
  NEED TO CONSIDER ALTERNATE ROUTES AT TIMES.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING BASED ON
CURRENT FORECASTS.
THOSE LIVING IN AREAS PRONE TO FLOODING SHOULD BE PREPARED TO
TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLOODING DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE
ALREADY EXPERIENCED FLOODING THIS YEAR.
