11:53AM, Sunday, June 26, 2011: The National Weather Service out of Riverton, Wyoming has issued a Flood Watch for very high flows along the Green River near LaBarge for Monday through Wednesday, June 27-29, 2011.

Peak snowmelt runoff along the Upper Green River Basin will cause very high flows along the Green River Monday through Wednesday. The Green River near LaBarge is expected to rise to near flood stage by early Wednesday. The high flows expected on Wednesday near LaBarge will be the highest since 1982. Flooding of homes and property along the Green River south of LaBarge could occur. Sublette County road 318 south of LaBarge near the river may be under water.

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
