“If it keeps raining or if we have any more of these small reservoirs fail, we could have higher amounts on the Milk River near Glasgow and Nashua,” Proton said.

Some small streams have jumped their banks and covered two 100-foot stretches of Highway 19 — near mile marker 61.85 and 51.2 — with standing water on both lanes of the roadway, according to a press release from the Montana Department of Transportation.

About 250 feet of Highway 87/200, near milepost 112.5 outside the town of Grass Range, has roughly 4 inches of water on both lanes of the roadway.

Advisory signs have been placed along the highway and officials are encouraging motorists to slow down and use caution through the areas.

At milepost 73.4 where Highway 191 crosses Crooked Creek, 4 inches of water had crept onto 400 feet of pavement and continued to rise. Montana Department of Transportation officials are encouraging motorists to use alternate routes.

The NWS has issued a hazardous weather outlook, advising people who live in areas recently scarred by fire to monitor their land closely for flooding issues.

The rain has caused some minor flooding but has benefited the area as well.
