Hydrologic Statement
National Weather Service Elko NV
131 PM PDT Tue May 14 2024

...Warm temperatures will accelerate snowmelt on remaining mountain
snowpack this week, resulting in higher flows on area creeks and
rivers...

Melting of high elevation snow pack continues to accelerate this
week as temperatures rise to around 10 degrees above normal.
Overnight low temperatures at higher elevations where snowpack
remains may not fall below freezing for the next several nights.
With the increased snow melt and runoff, area rivers and creeks
will see enhanced flows. If and when river gauge water levels
reach action stage or higher, additional hydrologic products will
be issued.

Outdoor enthusiasts should use caution as the water is very cold
and a person could be swept away by the fast flowing water.$$
