...Heavy Rainfall Rates Possible over the Bridger Foothills Fire
Burn Scar Area Friday Afternoon...
A weather system approaching from the Pacific Northwest will create
an increasingly moist and unstable environment over Central and
Southwest Montana Friday afternoon through Saturday. There is the
possibility during the afternoon to early evening hours on Friday of
heavy rainfall that could cause impacts within and downstream of the
Bridger Foothills Fire burn scar area. This potential threat is
highly uncertain because of the localized nature of heavier rain
showers or thunderstorms. If precipitation develops with peak
instability during the afternoon, thunderstorm coverage and rainfall
rates could be higher. Those living within or downstream of the
Bridger Foothills Fire Burn Scar should remain aware of changing
conditions through the evening hours on Friday. Any rainfall rates
in excess of 0.50 per hour increases the possibility of flash
flooding and debris flows in basins affected by the fire. At this
time, it seems unlikely that those rainfall rates will be met, but
not out of the question. Steady, light to moderate precipitation
continues overnight into Saturday, but the chance for rain related
impacts will decrease as rain changes to snow and begins to
accumulate at elevations down to, or below 5000 feet.
