Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northern and Central Nevada
National Weather Service Elko NV
227 AM PDT Tue Sep 2 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...Mid day Tuesday moisture and instability from the
trough to the northwest will create isolated dry thunderstorms
for fire weather zone 437 and the western portion of zone 438.
Better moisture riding southerly flow will create a mix of isolated
wet and dry thunderstorms (more dry than wet) for fire zones 424,
425, 426, 427, and 438 through Tuesday evening. Continued southerly
flow will make for a similar setup on Wednesday over central Nevada
for fire weather zones 424, 425, 426, and 427. Instability over
southern portions of fire weather zone 425 and zones 426 and 427 will
increase significantly later in the afternoon on Wednesday.
Afternoon RH values on Tuesday will near criteria level for all
zones, but the increased moisture push from the south will keep RH
values well above criteria levels on Wednesday. Strong, gusty winds
will not be a factor over the region through Wednesday.
