<p>The clear blue water of the South Fork of the Flathead River meets  the runoff-muddied water of the main river near Hungry Horse in this aerial view Friday morning. The South Fork flows out of Hungry Horse Dam so it isn’t discolored by runoff. Fueled by melting snow, the mainstem Flathead River on Friday reached flood stage of 13 feet as measured at Columbia Falls. The river level is forecast to rise to nearly 14 feet this weekend. Water levels in the Middle Fork and North Fork of the Flathead River are expected to peak about a foot below flood stage today.
