Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northern and Central Nevada
National Weather Service Elko NV
219 AM PDT Tue Oct 7 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...Fire weather concerns are minimal for the next several
days. Look for afternoon temperatures to slowly warm into the 70s by
mid-week while minimum relative humidity values remain above
critical thresholds. Still watching the potential for strong winds
Wednesday through Friday with southwest to south winds 10 to 20 with
gusts to 30 mph especially across the central Nevada zones.
Precipitation chances increase on Friday through the upcoming weekend
as another upper trough and surface frontal system look to travel
across Nevada through this time.
