Hydrologic Statement
National Weather Service Elko NV
1245 AM PDT Mon May 13 2024

...Warm temperatures this week will lead to increased runoff and
higher flows in area creeks and rivers...

High elevation snow pack is expected to begin melting off in
earnest this week as temperatures remain in the 70s and 80s
during the day with overnight lows in the 40s and possibly 50s.
With the increased runoff, area rivers and creeks will see
enhanced flows. Some of these include Salmon Falls Creek near
San Jacinto, the Humboldt River at Comus and Battle Mountain,
South Fork Humboldt River at South Fork Dam and Dixie Creek,
the Owyhee River at Wildhorse and Mountain City, Bruneau River
at Rowland, Marys River at Charleston, Lamoille Creek, Marys
River at Deeth, and Jarbidge River at Jarbidge. When river
gauge water levels reach action stage or higher, additional
hydrologic products will be issued at that time.

Outdoor enthusiasts should use caution as the water is very cold
and a person could be swept away by the fast flowing water.
