The warmest temperatures of the snowmelt season are expected over the next several days. This will cause the Merced River at Pohono Bridge to reach flood stage Tuesday evening.
This will bring flooding to campgrounds and trails in Yosemite Valley and visitors should pay close attention to Park officials for any closures.
Additionally a flood watch remains in effect for the Sierra Nevada through at least the end of the week.
Rafters and recreationalists will need to stay alert and be aware that all rivers and streams will become increasingly hazardous as the fast flowing and very cold waters continue to rise. Hypothermia is a deadly possibility.
Boaters on area lakes should be alert to floating debris, such as branches and logs that have washed into the lakes from high waters upstream.
