According to Dan Zumpf, chief forecaster for the National Weather Service in Missoula..a flood watch is now in effect for the Clark Fork river above Missoula and for the Fisher river near Libby, while a flood warning is in effect for the Yaak river in Northwest Montana and the Thompson river near Thompson Falls. My interview with Mr. Zumpf is attached.
