Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northern and Central Nevada
National Weather Service Elko NV
Issued by National Weather Service Reno NV
238 AM PDT Sat Aug 30 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...

Weather will be dry this weekend under a few afternoon cumulus clouds
as a ridge of high pressure begins to amplify over the western U.S.
Minimum afternoon RH readings move into the teens this weekend.
Afternoon prevailing winds remain generally light thru the weekend as
well and down valley and downslope winds will be dominant overnight
under mostly clear skies. Atmospheric moisture begins to creep north
and back into the Great Basin early next week as the upper level
ridge continues to amplify. Diurnally driven thunderstorms will
return to central Nevada, beginning Tuesday, with activity expected
to increase in areal coverage as the week progresses. Latest progs
still maintain adequate moisture to produce a mix of wet and dry
storm modes.
