ESFLKN Upper level high pressure will bring warming temperatures to northern Nevada beginning Sunday and lasting through mid-week. This will allow for snowmelt from the mountains to increase, with runoff occurring into area rivers and creeks. Several waterways that are of concern at this time are Martin Creek in Humboldt County; and in Elko county: the Owyhee River near Mountain City, the Bruneau River, and Salmon Falls Creek. With snowpack remaining in the mid-slopes and higher, snowmelt will runoff into these waterways. This will cause higher than normal flows over several days next week. No flooding is expected at this time. Residents and outdoor enthusiasts are urged to use caution when walking along the riverbank as the water will be flowing rapidly with cold water. Hypothermia can occur rapidly if someone were to fall in accidently.

* AFFECTED AREAS: ELKO, NV ... HUMBOLDT, NV
