753 FGUS85 KLKN 132208 RVSLKN NVC007-011-013-015-141200- Hydrologic Statement National Weather Service Elko NV 308 PM PDT Mon May 13 2024 ...Warm temperatures this week will lead to increased runoff and higher flows in area creeks and rivers... High elevation snow pack continues to accelerate this week as temperatures remain in the 70s and 80s during the day with overnight lows in the 40s and possibly 50s. Low temperatures at higher elevations where snowpack remains may not fall below freezing for the next several nights. With the increased runoff, area rivers and creeks will see enhanced flows. Some of these include Salmon Falls Creek near San Jacinto, the Humboldt River at Comus and Battle Mountain, South Fork Humboldt River at South Fork Dam and Dixie Creek, the Owyhee River at Wildhorse and Mountain City, Bruneau River at Rowland, Marys River at Charleston, Lamoille Creek, Marys River at Deeth, and Jarbidge River at Jarbidge. When river gauge water levels reach action stage or higher, additional hydrologic products will be issued at that time. Outdoor enthusiasts should use caution as the water is very cold and a person could be swept away by the fast flowing water. $$
