...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT...
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall and debris flows
are possible.
* WHERE...Portions of north central and northeast Nevada, including
the following areas, in north central Nevada, Southern Lander and
Southern Eureka. In northeast Nevada, Northern Elko and Southwest
Elko.
* WHEN...From this evening through late Sunday night.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. In
addition, flash flooding is possible over recently burned areas
like the former Oxley Fire, Antelope Fire, California Creek Fire,
and Master Fire. Other burn scar locations in the watch area could
also be affected.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Deep moisture from decaying Hurricane Rachel is expected to move
northward, crossing into portions of east-central and eastern
Nevada late tonight through roughly Monday. This significant
moisture will interact with upper level low pressure to bring
widespread showers with isolated thunderstorms to the watch area.
Moderate to locally heavy rain will cause excessive runoff and
may result in rock, mud, and debris flows in and near former fire
burned areas, steep terrain, and poorly drained urban areas.
