* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall and localized heavy rainfall from thunderstorms is possible.

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

* WHEN...From Saturday evening through late Monday night.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poorly drained areas and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Deep Tropical moisture is forecast to move northward into portions of northern Nye County, Southern Lander and Eureka Counties, White Pine counties and southern Elko County mainly affecting the Ruby Mountains starting late on Saturday lasting at least through Monday morning. The moisture, atmospheric instability, and weak lift associated with the decaying remnants of Hilary will aid in the potential for moderate to heavy rainfall and the potential of localized heavy rainfall from thunderstorms that could lead to flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
