105 AM PDT Fri Oct 17 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

.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns remain minimal through the seven day
forecast. No thunderstorm activity is forecast as we push closer
to the winter season. By Sunday afternoon, gusty winds are
possible along the northern NV border in fire weather zones 437,
438, 469, and 470, but fuels will remain below critical thresholds
due to precipitation from the recent storm system.
