ESFLKN Upper level high pressure will bring warming temperatures to northern Nevada. This will allow for snowmelt from the mountains to increase, with runoff occurring into area rivers and creeks. Two waterways that are of concern at this time are Martin Creek in Humboldt County and the Owyhee River near Mountain City. With snowpack remaining and subsequent frozen ground, snowmelt will runoff into these two waterways. This will cause higher than normal flows over the next two days. Residents and outdoor enthusiasts are urged to use caution when walking along the riverbank as the water will be flowing rapidly with cold water. Hypothermia can occur rapidly if someone were to fall in accidently.
