686 FGUS75 KBOI 231040 ESFBOI IDC003-045-075-087-ORC001-025-045-241045- Hydrologic Outlook National Weather Service Boise ID 340 AM MST Sun Feb 23 2025 /240 AM PST Sun Feb 23 2025/ ...RAIN AND LOW ELEVATION SNOWMELT WILL CAUSE RISES ON RIVERS, CREEKS, AND STREAMS TODAY AND MONDAY POTENTIALLY LEADING TO MINOR FLOOD IMPACTS... Moderate to heavy rain and low elevation snowmelt today and Monday will lead to rises on rivers, creeks, and streams across portions of southeast Oregon and southwest Idaho (particularly the Weiser River Basin). Saturated or frozen soils in some areas will increase runoff. Snow and ice may clog culverts, storm drains, and side ditches causing water to back-up and pond in low lying and poor drainage areas. Additionally, ice jams could develop on any waterways with existing ice cover and cause localized flooding. Rivers in these areas will continue to run high through the week with some rivers potentially reaching bankfull or minor flood stage. Those with interests along rivers, creeks and streams should continue to monitor the forecast as there is uncertainty in how much response the lower elevation rivers, creeks and streams will see. Stay tuned to the forecast for the latest temperature and precipitation trends, along with any warnings or advisories that may be issued. $$
