Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northern and Central Nevada
National Weather Service Elko NV
1231 PM PDT Thu Oct 16 2025
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...
Fire weather concerns remain minimal in the short and long term
forecast. No thunderstorm activity is forecast as we push closer
to the winter season. Sunday afternoon gusty winds are possible
along the northern NV border in fire weather zones 437, 438, 469,
and 470, but fuels will remain below critical thresholds due to
precipitation from the recent storm system.
