Overview

• Yosemite National Park's Yosemite Valley closed Friday due to forecasted flooding but reopened Sunday with limited services and will fully reopen Monday.
• Rising temperatures caused snowmelt and increased water flow into the Merced River, but flooding turned out to be less severe than expected.
• Visitors are warned to exercise caution around swollen rivers that remain dangerous.
• Cancellations for lodging and campground reservations in the valley were automatically refunded.
• Only some food services will be available Sunday, but full operations resume Monday morning.
