Radar Outage Aug

Monsoonal moisture will give NE Nevada another chance for isolated to scattered mix of wet and dry thunderstorms today, with the Eastern half of our area seeing the best storm chances. The main hazards from theses storms will be lightning, small hail, gusty outflow winds. Temperatures today will be similar to Tuesday due to clouds and moisture, highs will range from the middle 80s to the mid 90’s. The combination of heavy rain and slow storm movement could lead to areas of localized flooding. Remember, do not try to cross flooded roadways. TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN!
