Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Reno NV
802 PM PDT Sun Jul 27 2025

The National Weather Service in Reno has extended the

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Southern Washoe County in western Nevada...

* Until 1000 PM PDT.

* At 802 PM PDT, trained weather spotters reported thunderstorms
  producing heavy rain across the warned area. Between 0.5 and 0.7
  inches of rain have fallen. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected
  to begin shortly.

Excessive rainfall over the burn scar will result in debris flow
moving through the Baron Burn Scar near Rattlesnake Mountain. The
debris flow can consist of rock, mud, vegetation and other loose
materials.

  HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

  SOURCE...Trained spotters reported.

  IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban
           areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as
           other poor drainage and low-lying areas.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
   the Baron Burn Scar near Rattlesnake Mountain in Reno.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Heavy rainfall will cause extensive and severe flash flooding of
creeks...streams...and ditches in the Baron Burn Scar. Severe debris
flows can also be anticipated across roads. If you encounter flood
waters...climb to safety.

Recent burn areas are more prone to flooding, debris flows, and rock
falls. Plugged culverts, rocks and debris on roads, and water and
mud over roads are common during moderate to heavy rains. Increased
sediment and debris can lead to impacts in areas typically not prone
to flooding. Use extra caution when traveling in or below recent
burn areas. Impactful flooding and debris flows may be generated by
15 minutes or less of heavy rainfall.
