A low pressure system over the Pacific Northwest will drop southward

Sunday night. Slow storm motions and/or training cells may produce
heavy rainfall and localized flooding.

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
