Hydrologic Outlook issued October 9 at 12:13AM PDT by NWS Elko NV
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
Cleve Creek Campground offers a quiet, primitive camping experience in White Pine County, Nevada, managed by the BLM Bristlecone Field Office. Situated along Cleve Creek in the Schell Creek Range, the campground provides a shaded retreat beneath mature cottonwood trees. The 12 individual campsites and one group site each feature a picnic table and fire grill. This is a basic, no-fee campground with vault restrooms but no potable water. Campers should arrive self-sufficient with all necessary water supplies. The access road and site layout are not suitable for large trailers or RVs. Hunting and shooting are prohibited within the developed recreation area, and motorized travel is not allowed in adjacent Wilderness Areas. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations accepted. It provides a good base for exploring the surrounding high desert landscape and nearby Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest trails.
Directions
From Ely, travel 26 miles southeast on U.S. Highway 6-50, then north on State Route 893 for 12 miles.
