The warmest temperatures are forecast for the next few days. But the National Weather Service says the Merced River at the Pohono Bridge is likely to reach flood stage sometime Tuesday night. That could bring flooding to campgrounds and trails in Yosemite Valley.

Park officials say visitors should pay close attention to possible closures.
