ESFLKN As high pressure builds across the Great Basin through the beginning of the week, near to record warm high temperatures are forecast. This will help to increase the melt rate of mid- and high-elevation snowpack, which will make it into area creeks and streams. Faster responding creeks that will need to be watched for higher flows include Martin Creek in Humboldt county, the Owyhee River, Bruneau River, and Salmon Falls Creek in Elko county. Though flooding is not expected at this time, water in area creeks and streams will be flowing strongly thru at least midweek. Residents and outdoor enthusiasts are urged to use caution when walking along riverbanks as run off water will be flowing rapidly with cold spring melt water. Hypothermia can occur rapidly if someone were to fall in while swift flows can carry a person downstream.
