A Red Flag Warning is in effect for Northern and Central Nevada from 11 AM PDT Saturday morning until 11 PM PDT Saturday evening. The combination of critically dry fuels, 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.
A Wind Advisory is in effect for Northern and parts of Central Nevada from 11 AM PDT Saturday morning until 11 PM PDT Saturday evening. Blowing dust will reduce visibilities at times. Travel will be difficult, particularly for high profile vehicles.
The fourth wettest day observed in Ely during the month of September occurred forty-one years ago today.
