Flood warnings are already in place for<br \/>\nminor flooding along the Cannonball River at Breien and the Missouri<br \/>\nRiver west of Williston. As much above normal temperatures are<br \/>\nexpected to persist through the week, other rivers and streams such<br \/>\nas the Knife, Little Missouri, Heart, Apple Creek and Beaver Creek<br \/>\nnear Linton are likely to receive sufficient runoff to raise water<br \/>\nlevels and lift the ice off the shoreline. While most of this area<br \/>\ndoes not have enough water in the snowpack to produce widespread<br \/>\nsignificant flooding, the risk of icejam related high water will be<br \/>\nat its peak this week in these waterways if enough flow can be<br \/>\ngenerated to mobilize the ice cover.<\/p>\n<p>In the northwest quarter of the state, the Yellowstone river near<br \/>\nMontana is also expected to see its water levels continue to rise<br \/>\nand a correspondingly higher risk of its ice cover breaking up.<\/p>\n<p>East of Bismarck, the snowpack will prove to be a little more<br \/>\nresilient, but runoff should be in full swing by late in the work<br \/>\nweek. In particular, the Prairie Pothole areas will see small<br \/>\nwetlands and lakes begin to rise towards the end of the week, and<br \/>\nthis will threaten some low-lying roads with inundation and<br \/>\nclosures. Also, ice anglers should be wary of rapidly deteriorating<br \/>\nshorelines from which they access local fisheries. <strong>The James River<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>and Pipestem creek watersheds should also be prepared for runoff<\/strong> <strong>starting to cause rising water levels by week`s end even though that<\/strong> <strong>area should have the most resilient of snowcover.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the Souris River Basin should also experience melting<br \/>\nconditions, but the majority of the contributing area north and west<br \/>\nof Minot has very little snow cover. Little risk of flooding is<br \/>\nexpected along the Souris upstream of Minot. While enough snow is<br \/>\nfound over in the Towner, Willow City and Westhope region to create<br \/>\na fair amount of runoff, that may not occur this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melting snow has already created some substantial rises in streams west of the Missouri River.
