378 FGUS75 KLKN 060959 ESFLKN NVC007-013-071000- Hydrologic Outlook National Weather Service Elko NV 259 AM PDT Sun Apr 6 2025 ...WARMER TEMPERATURES INCREASING SNOWMELT... Near record warmth is expected in most of Northern and Central Nevada during the middle to latter part of this week. This will accelerate the process of snowmelt and enhance runoff into area creeks and rivers. Creeks and rivers that are susceptible to rapid water level rises will be most impacted. Waterways affected include, but are not limited to Martin Creek in Humboldt County, the Owyhee River in Elko County, the Bruneau River in Elko County, and Salmon Falls Creek in Elko County. Flooding is not expected at this time. Be that as it may, residents and outdoor enthusiasts are urged to exercise caution when walking near rapidly flowing waterways. Currents will be strong and the water will be very cold. Hypothermia can occur quickly when immersed in very cold water. $$ JB
