Weather Alert in Nevada
Hydrologic Outlook issued August 25 at 2:22AM PDT by NWS Elko NV
AREAS AFFECTED: Elko, NV; Eureka, NV
DESCRIPTION: ESFLKN Deep, monsoonal moisture will continue to stream northward into Northern and Central Nevada today through Thursday, resulting in the likelihood of wetting thunderstorms each afternoon and evening. Slow storm motions may produce heavy rainfall and localized flooding. Of particular concern are recent, large burn scars, including the Snowstorm Complex near Midas, the Cottonwood Peak fire north of Tuscarora, the Hot Canyon fire northwest of Montello, and the Adobe fire north of Elko. Numerous smaller burn scars from this fire season also remain vulnerable. Residents near recent burned scars should have multiple ways to receive Flash Flood Warnings and be prepared to act quickly. Travelers and recreationists should also remain alert and consider alternate plans.

Stratocumulus clouds are similar to altocumulus clouds in their
fluffy appearance, but have a slightly darker shade due to their additional mass.
A good way to distinguish the two cloud types is to hold your hand out and measure
the size of an individual cloud; if it is the size of your thumb it is generally
an altocumulus cloud, if it is the size of your hand it is generally a
stratocumulus cloud.
It is uncommon for stratocumulus clouds to produce precipitation, but if they do
it is usually a light rain or snow.

Next Topic: Altocumulus Clouds
A wall cloud forms underneath the base of a cumulonimbus cloud,
and can be a hotbed for deadly tornadoes.
Wall clouds are formed by air flowing into the cumulonimbus clouds, which can
result in the wall cloud descending from the base of the cumulonimbus cloud, or
rising fractus clouds which join to the base of the storm cloud as the wall cloud
takes shape.
Wall clouds can be very large, and in the Northern Hemisphere they generally
form at the southern edge of cumulonimbus clouds.
