ESFLKN Near record warmth is expected in portions of Northern and Central Nevada thru the end of the week. This will accelerate 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, the Jarbidge River in Elko County, and Salmon Falls Creek in Elko County. The latest official forecast no longer indicates that Salmon Falls Creek will move into action stage before temperatures cool this weekend. However, while no official forecast exists for the Jarbidge River and the Bruneau River, flow trends from the last few days indicate that it is likely that the Jarbidge and Bruneau will reach action stage by this evening. Not anticipating either river to reach minor flood stage before this weekend. Action stage is the level which some type of mitigation is needed in preparation for possible minor flooding. Water may cause minor impacts and be a nuisance to persons near the creek. Residents and outdoor enthusiasts are urged to exercise caution when walking near rapidly flowing, cold water. Hypothermia can occur quickly if someone were to fall into cold, swift water with risk of also being carried downstream.
