Yosemite National Park Braces for Flooding Due to Melting Snow.

Yosemite Valley will be closed from Friday through at least Wednesday of next week due to the potential for flooding along the Merced River caused by the melting of the immense Sierra snowpack. The closure will affect campgrounds, hotels, shops, and visitor centers in the valley, but other parts of Yosemite will remain open. The Merced River is expected to hit flood stage early Friday and potentially lap over roads and trails, but it won't likely approach the major flooding that occurred during the wet winter of 2017. More closures could come in the next two months due to the immense snowpack.
