The Truckee River will peak tonight at levels near what was seen during last month’s flooding. Flood waters entered walking paths earlier today in Sparks and downtown tonight. Many areas in the North Valleys were also flooding today.
No emergency services were on site, but city officials said that they are prepared and on alert.
“Residents in flood-prone areas should be on high alert,” City of Reno officials said in a media statement. “The highest risk of flooding is in urban areas and along creeks, streams and poor-drainage areas.”
