A Fire Weather Watch is posted for western Nevada, including the Truckee Meadows, as well as northeast California for late Saturday morning through Saturday evening. Fire danger will be critical, with low relative humidity values and gusty winds near 40mph. After the hot summer we’ve had, our fuels are very dry. Gusty winds can make fires spread rapidly. We should always be fire aware in Northern Nevada, but especially on Red Flag Days. A Watch means the ingredients are there and professionals are watching. A warning means it is happening.
