A Heat Advisory is in effect for most of Northern and Central Nevada until 1 AM PDT Thursday morning. This type of heat will result in a moderate risk for heat-related illnesses. Although heat events like this are relatively common and happen many times a year, heat-related impacts are possible for those new to the area if simple precautions are not taken. Plan to take action to reduce time outdoors, drink plenty of water, and remain in air-conditioned buildings. Heat-sensitive groups, such as the elderly, young children, and those with chronic ailments may need assistance to avoid heat-related illnesses. As always, never, ever leave a child or pet in an enclosed automobile.
A Red Flag Warning is in effect for Eastern Elko County from 12 PM PDT Thursday afternoon until 8 PM PDT Thursday evening. The combination of critically dry fuels and strong, gusty outflow wind gusts can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Any fires that develop from dry lightning will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
