## extract

Flood Watch — Southeastern Elko County; Ruby Mountains and East Humboldt Range; White Pine County; South Central Elko County; Northwestern Nye County; Northeastern Nye County
Severity: Severe. Certainty: Possible.
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...Portions of eastern, northeast, and south central Nevada,
including the following areas, in eastern Nevada, White Pine. In
northeast Nevada, Ruby Mountains and East Humboldt Range in Elko,
South Central Elko and Southeastern Elko. In south central Nevada,
Northeastern Nye and Northwestern Nye.

* WHEN...From this evening through late Sunday night.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams,
and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. In addition, flash
flooding is possible over recently burned areas like the former
Ward Fire, Kearny Fire, Oxley Fire, Secret Pass Fire, Starr Valley
Fire, Jones Fire, and Egberts Fire. Other burn scar locations in
the watch area could also be affected.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Deep moisture from decaying Hurricane Rachel is expected to move
northward, crossing into portions of east-central and eastern
Nevada late tonight 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.
