12:29 AM — 1:00 PM

Monsoonal moisture continues to stream northward into central and northern Nevada with anomalously high atmospheric moisture content for this time of year. This will promote heavy rainfall rates and runoff potential in stronger showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. * WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of eastern, north central, northeast, and south central Nevada, including the following areas, in eastern Nevada, White Pine. In north central Nevada, Northern Lander and Northern Eureka and Southern Lander and Southern Eureka. In northeast Nevada, Northern Elko, Ruby Mountains and East Humboldt Range in Elko, South Central Elko, Southeastern Elko and Southwest Elko. In south central Nevada, Northeastern Nye and Northwestern Nye. * WHEN...From 8 AM PDT this morning through this evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Deep subtropical moisture will be moving northward across portions of northern and central Nevada on Tuesday. This anomalously moist atmosphere will allow for the development of showers and thunderstorms. Some of these storms will be capable of producing rainfall rates of an inch of rainfall per hour or more, leading to flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

Overview

The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is the largest National Forest in the lower 48 states at 6.3 million acres, spanning most of Nevada and portions of eastern California. The forest is currently open and fully accessible for winter recreation, with the Bridgeport Winter Recreation Area recently opened for snowmobiling as of December 25, 2025. There are no active fire restrictions forest-wide at this time, though year-round campfire prohibitions exist within one mile of homes in certain Spring Mountains canyons. Notable active closures include the Mahogany Fire Rehabilitation Area (closed until September 30, 2025) and an over-snow vehicle closure on the Carson Ranger District effective December 17, 2025. The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area has reopened some areas that were previously closed due to Tropical Storm Hilary damage. Christmas tree cutting permits are available through December 25, 2025 on several ranger districts. The forest manages seven ranger districts across Nevada and California with offices in Sparks, Austin, Carson City, Elko, Ely, Las Vegas, Tonopah, Wells, Winnemucca, and Bridgeport. Winter visitors should be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions, avalanche risks in backcountry areas, and snow/ice on roads at higher elevations.
