NWS Forecast Office Elko, NV

Winds once again beset the silver state today as a weather system passes across the West. Wind gusts 45 to 55 mph can occur during the late morning into the evening across much of central and eastern NV. The winds will make travel difficult, especially so for high profile vehicles such as campers. Loose and/or light objects may be blown away so don’t forget to secure then lest your trash can finds a new home in a neighbor’s yard. These winds will cause blowing dust and hazy skies which has been dreadfully common this year. Blowing dust will lead to visibility restrictions which can be severe at or just downstream of dust sources.
