Archived official description
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall and debris flows is 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 Saturday evening through late Sunday night. * IMPACTS...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, Star 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 Saturday night 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
