Hydrologic Outlook
National Weather Service Elko NV
1156 PM PDT Sat Aug 23 2025

Deep, monsoonal moisture will surge northward into most of Northern
and Central Nevada this afternoon through Wednesday evening. As a
result, showers and thunderstorms will develop across much of
Northern and Central Nevada each afternoon and evening today through
Wednesday. 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.
