DAILY FORECAST: Flood conditions improving in east Idaho
Published at
IDAHO FALLS — It’s going to be warm and sunny for Monday, June 19. The only severe weather alert is the continued flooding danger on central and east Idaho’s major waterways.
But things are improving.
FLOODING
A flood warning remains in effect in central Idaho for Butte, Custer and Blaine counties due to significant snow melt.
As a result some flooding is expected to continue in the following locations:
- Valley Creek in the Stanley Basin
- Big Wood River near Hailey and Warm Springs
- Trail Creek through Ketchum
- Garden Creek near Challis
- Antelope Creek from Grouse toward Darlington
- Salmon River in Custer County
- Big Lost River above Mackay Reservoir
Flooding in eastern Idaho is decreasing. All flood warnings on the Snake River have been downgraded to flood advisories, which means flooding is possible, but not imminent.
The Snake River near Heise and near Blackfoot remain elevated, but below flood stage. Both are expected to slowly decrease over the weekend. The same is true of the Henrys Fork of the Snake River near Rexburg.
The Big Lost River below the Mackay Reservoir, the Big Wood River near Hailey and the Teton River near Driggs also remain elevated, but are below flood stage. Rises on all three rivers are expected this week, which may create additional flood warnings.
