Flood Watch until 12:00AM Tuesday

* WHAT...Areas of overland flooding or ponding of water/mud on roads caused by warming temperatures, gusty southwest winds, and excessive rain on snow is likely. River levels are also expected to rise and there is an elevated risk for minor river flooding.

* WHERE...A portion of northeast Nevada, including the following areas, Northern Elko County, Ruby Mountains and East Humboldt Range, South Central Elko County, Southeastern Elko County and Southwest Elko County.

* WHEN...From late Thursday night through Sunday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris or ice and snow.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Warm Atmospheric River moisture is expected to reach into Nevada on Friday through Saturday. This coupled with strong gusty southwest winds will accelerate snowmelt of the above normal snowpack in elevations below 8000 feet. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
