Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northern and Central Nevada
National Weather Service Elko NV
249 AM PDT Sat Sep 6 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...Updated model guidance has shower and thunderstorm activity
slowly diminishing over the course of the day Saturday. Storm
activity will focus essentially on northern and eastern NV
including northern portions of fire weather zones 437, and 438 as
well as 469, 470, and 425. Showers and storms will gradually
diminish from southwest to northeast by late afternoon and all
fire weather zones dry out by late Saturday evening.
Afternoon sustained winds over zones 425, 426, and 427 will reach
10-15 mph with gusts near 20 mph but afternoon RH values
collocated with higher wind speeds are borderline fire weather
criteria at best. Sunday, the weather pattern is much quieter save
for some isolated dry thunderstorm activity in the afternoon for
northern portions of fire weather zones 469 and 470. Sunday wind
speeds out of the west over all fire zones will reach 10-15 mph
with gusts near 25 mph through the afternoon hours.
