Meanwhile, a soaking rain fell across other parts of central Montana, providing relief after months of dry conditions.
Since Sunday afternoon, Great Falls Airport has received 1.3 inches of rain – more precipitation than the area received from February 18th through May 3rd.
The community of Carter in Chouteau County received almost 1.7 inches of rain, while much of the Helena Valley picked up more than an inch, marking the wettest two-day period in almost a year for Helena.
