A Red Flag Warning is in effect for Central Nevada from 11 AM PDT Tuesday morning until 8 PM PDT Tuesday evening. The combination of critically dry fuels, very low relative humidity values, and strong, gusty south winds can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

There is an elevated risk of wildfires in most of Northern and Central Nevada from 11 AM PDT Wednesday morning until 8 PM PDT Wednesday evening. The combination of dry fuels, low relative humidity values, and gusty southwest to west winds can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

Look for warm temperatures today and Tuesday with cooling by mid-week. High temperatures will rebound Friday through the weekend with readings into the 90s and low 100s, with overnight lows in the 50s and 60s. With triple digit temperatures expected late in the week, always remember to drink plenty of fluids, stay out of the sun, and remain in an air-conditioned room.

When is our first 100 degree day? Well, it could be as early as May or as late as August. For Winnemucca it was on May 31st 2025, for the rest of us high temperatures of 100+ are in the (extended) forecast for the next weekend. Stay alert and try to stay cool. As rest of us still wait to hit 100 degrees (or higher) for the first time this year, with Summer just starting, we wanted to show when the first 100 degree day typically is. When the earliest and the latest first 100 degree day occurs as well. It is important to note that even if you see a time and date for the first 100 degree day, it is not a guarantee that you will see a 100 degree day this or any year. As there are many years when we don’t see highs reach the century mark at all.
