Hydrologic Outlook
National Weather Service Elko NV
111 AM PDT Fri Apr 4 2025

...WARMER TEMPERATURES INCREASING SNOWMELT...

Near record warmth is expected in most of Northern and Central
Nevada during the middle to latter part of next week. This will
accelerate the process of snowmelt and enhance runoff into area
creeks and rivers.

Creeks and rivers that are susceptible to rapid water level rises
will be most impacted. Waterways affected include, but are not
limited to Martin Creek in Humboldt County, the Owyhee River in Elko
County, the Bruneau River in Elko County, and Salmon Falls Creek in
Elko County.

Flooding is not expected at this time. Be that as it may, residents
and outdoor enthusiasts are urged to exercise caution when walking
near rapidly flowing waterways. Currents will be strong and the
water will be very cold. Hypothermia can occur quickly when immersed
in very cold water.
