Upper level high pressure will bring warming temperatures to
northern Nevada. This will allow for snowmelt from the mountains to
increase, with runoff occurring into area rivers and creeks. Two
waterways that are of concern at this time are Martin Creek in
Humboldt County and the Owyhee River near Mountain City. With
snowpack remaining and subsequent frozen ground, snowmelt will
runoff into these two waterways. This will cause higher than normal
flows over the next two days. 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.
