This precipitation may result in river flooding due to a combination of rain and snowmelt in higher elevations. Currently, there is no concern for flash flooding. There is also potential for high winds and wind gusts. Residents should be prepared for potential power outages.
Spring-like conditions may cause travel issues on gravel roads. Town staff will continue to monitor the weather and its potential impacts throughout the storm.
