...Above normal temperatures will allow for snowmelt and subsequent
runoff during next week...

Upper level high pressure will bring warming temperatures to
northern Nevada beginning Sunday and lasting through mid-week. This
will allow for snowmelt from the mountains to increase, with runoff
occurring into area rivers and creeks. Several waterways that are of
concern at this time are Martin Creek in Humboldt County; and in
Elko county: the Owyhee River near Mountain City, the Bruneau River,
and Salmon Falls Creek. With snowpack remaining in the mid-slopes
and higher, snowmelt will runoff into these waterways. This will
cause higher than normal flows over several days next week. No
flooding is expected at this time. Residents and outdoor enthusiasts
are urged to use caution when walking along the riverbank as the
water will be flowing rapidly with cold water. Hypothermia can occur
rapidly if someone were to fall in accidently.
