Details

* WHAT...Flash flooding and debris flows caused by excessive rainfall continue to be possible.
* WHERE...Portions of eastern, northeast, and south central Nevada, including the following areas, in eastern Nevada, White Pine. In northeast Nevada, the Ruby Mountains and East Humboldt Range in Elko, South Central Elko and Southeastern Elko. In south central Nevada, Northeastern Nye and Northwestern Nye.
* WHEN...Through 5 am PDT.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Deep moisture from decaying Hurricane Rachel continues to move northward, impacting portions of east-central and eastern Nevada through roughly Monday. This significant moisture will interact with upper level low pressure to bring widespread showers with isolated thunderstorms to the watch area. Moderate to locally heavy rain will cause excessive runoff and may result in rock, mud, and debris flows in and near former fire burned areas, steep terrain, and poorly drained urban areas. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
