Some roads may become impassable. Now is the time to move equipment and livestock to higher ground away from waterways. Recent burn scars may be more susceptible to produce flooding, including the Elk west of Dayton and Sheridan. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Rain and high elevation snow is expected to develop Sunday night and continue into Monday afternoon. Rainfall amounts are expected to range from 1 to 2 inches, while elevations above 6000 feet see heavy snow.
