A Red Flag Warning is in effect for Eastern and Central Nevada from 11 AM PDT Monday morning until 11 PM PDT Monday evening. The combination of dry fuels, very low relative humidity values, and strong, gusty southwest winds can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

Southwest wind gusts near 35 mph are expected in Eastern and Central Nevada from 11 AM PDT Monday morning until 11 PM PDT Monday evening. Blowing dust will reduce visibilities at times. Travel will be difficult, particularly for high profile vehicles.
