Melting of high elevation snow pack continues to accelerate this week as temperatures rise to around 10 degrees above normal. Overnight low temperatures at higher elevations where snowpack remains may not fall below freezing for the next several nights. With the increased snow melt and runoff, area rivers and creeks will see enhanced flows. If and when river gauge water levels reach action stage or higher, additional hydrologic products will be issued. Outdoor enthusiasts should use caution as the water is very cold and a person could be swept away by the fast flowing water. $$
