Headline: Hydrologic Outlook issued June 27 at 12:25PM MDT by NWS Missoula MT

Storm total amounts between 1 to 3 inches for valleys and 2 to 4
inches for the mountains.

Where: Flathead and Lake Counties in northwest Montana, including

caution on backcountry roadways for falling debris. If camping, be
mindful of where you park your RV or pitch your tent. Avoid setting
up near water's edge, as streams and reservoirs could rise rapidly
and flood your site.
