Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 1:46PM PDT by NWS Elko NV

1:46 PM — October 9th, 5:30 AM

ESFLKN A low pressure system over the Pacific Northwest will drop southward into Northern California Sunday. This storm system will draw abundant atmospheric moisture associated with Tropical Storm Rachel northward into Eastern Nevada, resulting in the likelihood of rain Sunday and Sunday night. Slow storm motions and/or training cells may produce heavy rainfall and localized flooding. Of particular concern are recent, large burn scars, including the Ward fire south of Ely and the Oxley fire north of Wells. Numerous smaller burn scare from this fire season also remain vulnerable to flash flooding and debris flow. Residents near burn scars should have multiple ways to receive Flash Flood Warning and be prepared to act quickly. Travelers and recreationists should also remain alert and consider alternate plans.

About

Camp Draw Trailhead is a primitive backcountry staging area located in the remote Jarbidge Wilderness region of northeastern Nevada. Situated 13.1 miles from the small town of Jarbidge via Forest Road 062, this trailhead serves as a key entry point into one of Nevada's most pristine wilderness areas. The site functions primarily as a trailhead with basic horse camping capabilities, making it ideal for equestrians and backpackers preparing for wilderness excursions. Facilities are minimal by design, consisting only of vault toilets. There is no potable water available, so all visitors must pack in their own water supply. No fees are required. From Camp Draw, trails connect to major wilderness routes including paths to Jarbidge Lake, Government Peak, and the Emerald Basin. Certified weed-free hay is required for pack animals entering the wilderness. Standard wilderness regulations apply, prohibiting motorized vehicles, bicycles, and mechanized equipment beyond this point.
