ESFLKN As high pressure builds across the Great Basin through the beginning of the week, near to record warm high temperatures are forecast. This will help to 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. Though flooding is not expected at this time, water in area creeks and streams will be flowing strongly thru at least midweek. Residents and outdoor

ESFPIH Temperatures will continue to run well above average through Thursday, increasing low and mid elevation snowmelt and runoff. Standing water in typical low spots can be expected, and we'll also likely begin seeing the swelling of smaller creeks and tributaries that feed the larger streams and rivers. This may even push some streams and creeks above bankfull causing minor flooding and bank erosion due to the higher flows. The warm temperatures will peak Wednesday with afternoon highs reaching well into the 60s in most locations, and into the 70s in some lower valleys. These will be the warmest readings

This may even push some streams and creeks above bankfull causing minor flooding and bank erosion due to the higher flows. Temperatures will remain anomalously warm until a cold front passage Thursday. Even the overnight lows will stay above freezing through Thursday night, which will exacerbate snowmelt runoff. A cooldown is forecast

ESFPDT Temperatures in the 60s and 70s through Wednesday will increase snow melt of the mid and high elevation snow pack. This will be followed by mountain rain Wednesday night through Friday. Saturated mountain soils will allow for efficient runoff and will increase water levels on mountain rivers, creeks and streams. The primary concern is the John Day River at Service Creek which is forecast to reach minor flood stage Thursday morning through Friday afternoon, peaking early Friday morning. The Grande Ronde River at Troy and the Naches River at Cliffdell and Naches are expected to reach action stage Wednesday

ESFBOI Warmer temperatures will lead to snowmelt, causing rises on rivers, creeks, and streams across southeast Oregon through midweek. Saturated soils in some areas will increase runoff. Those with interests along rivers, creeks and streams should continue to monitor the forecast as there is some uncertainty in how much response the lower elevation rivers, creeks and streams will see. Stay tuned to the forecast for the latest updates, along with any warnings or advisories that may be issued.

ESFMSO Where: Idaho and Clearwater Counties What: Temperatures in the 60s and 70s are anticipated for the mid elevations through Thursday, with overnight temperatures not anticipated to drop below freezing. This will accelerate snow melt in the mid and upper elevations, leading to rapidly rising water levels on small streams and creeks. Flooding is not anticipated at this time, though Orofino Creek in Orofino may approach action stage, with a low probability of reaching minor flood stage. When: Through Thursday, March 27. People with activities near creeks and streams should exercise caution as flows will be swift and cold. Monitor

ESFSEW An atmospheric river today through Monday will bring heavy rain at times, especially for the mountains. Total precipitation amounts in the mountains will range from 3 to 6 inches, with locally heavier amounts possible. Snow levels will also rise to near 7500 feet during this period. This will result in sharp rises on rivers with flooding possible.
