Weather History

A Fire Weather Watch 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.

High temperatures throughout Northern and Central Nevada Saturday afternoon will be around five degrees above normal for this time of year. Maximum temperatures across Northern and Central Nevada Sunday afternoon will be twelve to fourteen degrees cooler than Saturday afternoon.

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