Smoke from the Secret Pass wildfire will impact Northeastern Nevada today, resulting in unhealthy air quality for sensitive groups. People with heart or lung disease, older adults, children, and teens, should reduce exposure by choosing less strenuous activities or shortening the amount of time you are active outdoors. An Air Quality Alert is in effect until 6 AM PDT Thursday morning.
A Heat Advisory is in effect for Elko, Eureka, and Lander Counties from 11 AM PDT Friday morning until 9 PM PDT Friday evening. 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.
