202 FGUS75 KLKN 242207 ESFLKN NVC007-011-251215- 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. $$ 96
