Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northern and Central Nevada
National Weather Service Elko NV
249 AM PDT Sat Apr 26 2025
.DISCUSSION...A strong and slow moving upper level low continues to
bring periods of wind, rain, snow, and a few thunderstorms across
the Silver State through Monday. Additional systems looks to clip
northeast Nevada for Wednesday, with a third system poised to
move through for the weekend, as the end of April and start of May
looks to be an active time for the Silver State. Winds Saturday
afternoon and evening will again be elevated to strong across zones
425, 426, and 427 as S to SW winds of 20 to 30 mPH with gusts up to
45 MPH will be possible. However, the coverage of strongest winds
will be smaller in area this evening than Friday which precludes wind
headlines Saturday.
Note: See 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
