Flood Watch until 12:00AM Thursday

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

* WHERE...Portions of eastern Nevada, north central Nevada, northeast Nevada and south central Nevada, including the following areas, in eastern Nevada, White Pine County. In north central Nevada, Northern Lander County and Northern Eureka County and Southern Lander County and Southern Eureka County. In northeast Nevada, Northern Elko County, Ruby Mountains and East Humboldt Range, South Central Elko County and Southwest Elko County. In south central Nevada, Northeastern Nye County and Northwestern Nye County.

* WHEN...From late tonight through Wednesday evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A warm atmospheric river will lead to rapid runoff in elevations below approximately 7000 feet. Although this atmospheric river appears to be slightly cooler and maybe not quite as wet as last Friday's storm, runoff will respond more rapidly due to primed low elevation snowpack, rising stream and river flows, and saturated ground conditions. Expect renewed flooding in areas that have just experienced flood impacts. Significant river rises are expected although mainstem river flooding is not currently forecast. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
