Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northern and Central Nevada
National Weather Service Elko NV
Issued by National Weather Service Reno NV
243 AM PDT Wed Sep 3 2025
NOTE: THIS PRODUCT HAS UPDATED FORECAST DATA BUT THE FORECAST DISCUSSION
IS FROM THE PREVIOUS FWF
Note: Check Fire Weather Discussion in the Area Forecast Discussion
for more info
Note: Thunderstorms imply gusty and erratic winds
Note: CWR means precipitation totals will be more than 0.10 inches
Note: Winds in the extended forecast are average daytime winds
.DISCUSSION...Increasing moisture across the region Wednesday will
create dry becoming wet thunderstorm activity from south to north
across central and northern NV. Thunderstorms will initiate over the
fire weather zones 426 and 427 as early as midday Wednesday.
Areal coverage of thunderstorm activity will spread north through
the afternoon into fire weather zones 424, 425, 437, 438, and 469.
Drier air over northeastern NV will keep storms that do develop over
northeastern NV more dry than wet (zones 438, 469). Better moisture
over central NV will create more wetting thunderstorm activity for
zones 425, 426, 427, and eventually 424 and 437 later in the day.
Thursday thunderstorm activity will initiate over fire zones 425,
426, and 427 by early afternoon before spreading northward into 424,
438, 469, and 470. A similar setup expected with a mix of wet and dry
thunderstorm activity over northern fire zones and more wetting
storm activity over 425, 426, and 427.
