| Episode Narrative |
Following a very wet April and May, warmer June temperatures began to melt an above normal mountain snowpack increasing flows into already swollen river basins. |This caused minor to locally moderate flooding along Lake Pend Oreille and Pend Oreille River along with several of its smaller tributaries. Agriculture fields, recreation sites, roadways, as well as homes were impacted by the flooding. |

Minor spring flooding occurred along the Pend Oreille River, Clark Fork River, and Lake Pend Oreille. Johnson Creek Road on the south side of the Clark Fork River had some sloughing. In central and western areas of the county, Priest River inundated portions of LeClerc Road just east of Oldtown as well as Dufort Road, just east of Priest Lake.
