RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) - Rainfall on top of the runoff from the melting mountain snowpack has sent some rivers and streams over their banks in central and western Wyoming.
Officials say six homes in a subdivision south of Jackson in Teton County were affected by flooding Monday when a mud slide blocked an irrigation ditch.
Meantime, flooding was occurring in west-central Fremont County along the Wind River near Dubois Crowheart and Kinnear where the river was about a half foot (15.2 centimeters) above flood stage. The river was expected to start receding Tuesday evening but rise downstream in the Riverton area.
Wyoming 132 on the Wind River Indian Reservation was blocked by high water in one area.
In northern Wyoming, the Shoshone River between Cody and Lovell caused minor flooding of low-lying areas.
