Hydrologic Outlook
National Weather Service Elko NV
1213 AM PDT Fri Oct 9 2026

A low pressure system over the Pacific Northwest will drop southward
into Northern California Sunday. This storm system will draw abundant
atmospheric moisture associated with Tropical Storm Rachel northward
into Eastern Nevada, resulting in the likelihood of rain Sunday and
Sunday night. Slow storm motions and/or training cells may produce
heavy rainfall and localized flooding.

Of particular concern are recent, large burn scars, including the
Ward fire south of Ely and the Oxley fire north of Wells. Numerous
smaller burn scare from this fire season also remain vulnerable to
flash flooding and debris flow.

Residents near burn scars should have multiple ways to receive Flash
Flood Warning and be prepared to act quickly. Travelers and
recreationists should also remain alert and consider alternate plans.
