Hydrologic Outlook
National Weather Service Elko NV
307 PM PDT Sun Aug 24 2025

Deep, monsoonal moisture has made it`s way up into Central and
Northern Nevada. Each afternoon and evening today through Wednesday
the elevated moisture amounts from the monsoon push will combine
with weak to moderate instability resulting in showers and
thunderstorms. Slow storm motions may produce heavy rainfall and
localized flooding.

Of particular concern are recent, large burn scars, including the
Snowstorm Complex near Midas, the Cottonwood Peak fire north of
Tuscarora, the Hot Canyon fire northwest of Montello, and the Adobe
fire north of Elko. Numerous smaller burn scars from this fire
season also remain vulnerable.

Residents near recent burned scars should have multiple ways to
receive Flash Flood Warnings and be prepared to act quickly.
Travelers and recreationists should also remain alert and consider
alternate plans.
