Trend for the next 2 days will be steady streamflow conditions except at

locations affected by upstream thunderstorm rainfall which based on forecasts,

will be widespread throughout the eastern Great Basin and Colorado Basin during

the next few days.  Rises due to thunderstorm rainfall can be rapid and

severe; especially along rivers with relatively low discharges, and

in headwater areas.
