- ➤ An early storm last month boosted the snowpack in northwest Montana, but NRCS said the Flathead River basin will have slightly below normal streamflows from May through July due to warm temperatures that accelerated snowmelt — hydrologists noted that peak flows have already passed and continued runoff will depend on upcoming cooler weather and additional precipitation — a trend that may affect water levels in the region.
