Heavy rain on top of snow pack caused small streams to over top their banks in Lincoln, Sanders and Ravalli Counties. Rainfall totals over a two day period ranged from 2 to 3 inches in the valleys and 6 to 7 inches in the mountains. In Lincoln County, some bridge washouts were reported with county wide small stream flooding. In Sanders County, a few county roads and private drives were flooded. In Ravalli County, Kootenai Creek flooded near Stevensville and washed out a bridge.
