Weather History

There is an elevated risk of wildfires in most of Northern and Central Nevada from 11 AM PDT this morning until 11 PM PDT this evening due to southwest to west wind gusts near 35 mph and minimum relative humidity values as low as nine percent. The combination of critically dry fuels, low relative humidity values, and strong, gusty southwest to west winds can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

High temperatures throughout Northern and Central Nevada this afternoon will be seven to nine degrees cooler than yesterday afternoon. Maximum temperatures across Northern and Central Nevada Monday afternoon will be around five degrees below normal for this time of year.

Low temperatures throughout Northern and Central Nevada tonight will be around five degrees below normal for this time of year. Minimum apparent temperatures in the coldest valleys of Northern and Central Nevada tonight will be near freezing.

High temperatures throughout Northern and Central Nevada Tuesday afternoon will be around five degrees warmer than Monday afternoon. Maximum temperatures across Northern and Central Nevada Wednesday afternoon will be near normal for this time of year.
