Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northern and Central Nevada
National Weather Service Elko NV
1207 AM PST Wed Dec 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...
Low risk for fire weather conditions as quick moving upper trough
will bring a chance for isolated rain/snow showers this morning,
mainly across Elko county. Precipitation chances return Friday and
Saturday as another system looks to clip northern Nevada bringing
another 10% to 20% chance for light rain/snow showers. Outside of the
potential for precipitation, cool temperatures and light winds are
forecast for the area.
