In Great Falls, a Flood Advisory remains in effect through Tuesday.
An ice jam has created minor flooding along River Drive- closing part of the road near the Electric City Water Park near the railroad tracks.
Ice jamming has happened in the area due to fluctuating temperatures from above to below freezing.
This has allowed ice to melt and break apart into large pieces.
Ice then shifted and moved up river and met up with larger parts of ice and jammed- preventing any ice movement.
This ice jam makes water push out and around the ice which causes flooding like the minor flooding seen down by River Drive.
