[QUOTE="Allen, post: 344866, member: 389"] Indeed, there is some water in the system and that is a good thing. The bad thing is that this looks like it will be a fairly short event. In the past it was common to see the Missouri River near Williston above flood stage for weeks at a time. Here's the forecast for the Yellowstone at Billings: [URL="https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=byz&gage=bilm8"]National Weather Service Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service[/URL] And what it will likely mean for the Missouri near Williston: [URL="https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=bis&gage=wltn8"]National Weather Service Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service[/URL] One thing about high water (in case you are doing the math) is that it has a bit of a "slinky" effect. The farther downstream it goes, it stretches out a pretty fair amount due to friction and you just end up seeing a longer period of lower flows. Nonetheless, it's good to see some water coming in above the discharge and evap out of Sak. I got my feet wet a couple times over the weekend as the water was rising and courtesy dock management left a little to be desired. The fishing was awesome though!
