- 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.
