Hydrologic Outlook issued March 27 at 10:29AM PDT by NWS Elko NV

ESFLKN

Warm temperatures continue to help increase the melt
rate of mid and high-elevation snowpack, which will make it into
area creeks and streams. Faster responding creeks that will need
to be watched for higher flows include Martin Creek in Humboldt
County, the Owyhee River, Bruneau River, and Salmon Falls Creek in
Elko County.

The Bruneau River reached action stage (6.0 feet) Wednesday night,
and is expected to remain in or near action stage today and tonight
with the continued above normal temperatures. At this time the
Bruneau
River is not expected to reach minor flood stage (7.0 feet).

Flooding is not expected elsewhere on regional creeks or rivers
at this time, but water will be flowing swiftly. Residents and
outdoor enthusiasts are urged to use caution when walking along
riverbanks as run off water will be flowing rapidly with cold
spring melt water. Hypothermia can occur rapidly if someone were
to fall in while swift flows can carry a person downstream.
