Flood Watch issued October 10 at 3:17AM PDT until October 12 at

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall and debris flows
are 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...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. 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 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.
