Hydrologic Outlook issued April 7 at 3:08AM PDT by NWS Elko NV

ESFLKN

Near record warmth is expected in portions of Northern and Central
Nevada during the middle to latter part of this week. This will
accelerate the process of snowmelt and enhance runoff into area
creeks and rivers.

Creeks and rivers that are susceptible to rapid water level rises
will be most impacted. Waterways affected include, but are not
limited to Martin Creek in Humboldt County, the Owyhee River in Elko
County, the Bruneau River in Elko County, and Salmon Falls Creek in
Elko County.

Salmon Falls Creek is expected to reach action stage (9.0 feet) late
next week. Action stage is the level which some type of mitigation
is needed in preparation for possible minor flooding. At this time,
Salmon Falls Creek is not anticipated to reach minor flood stage
(10.0 feet).

Residents and outdoor enthusiasts are urged to exercise caution when
walking near rapidly flowing, cold water. Hypothermia can occur
quickly if someone were to fall into cold, swift water.
