Good morning, Helena.

The Montana DNRC, Montana Tech and the University of Colorado Boulder finished a winter cloud seeding study in the Big Hole Watershed to see if the method can boost snowpack.

The study shows that stream flow could rise between 20,000 and 60,000 feet (cost estimates range from $12 to $60 per acre-foot) and a pilot test is planned in three to five years if the legislature funds it.

Jericho Mountain Fire continues to burn five miles south of MacDonald Pass, west of Helena—covering just under 500 acres and now 30% contained.
