315 AM PDT Sun Aug 24 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

.DISCUSSION...
Monsoonal moisture will surge northward into much of Northern and
Central Nevada today through Wednesday, resulting in the
likelihood of wetting thunderstorms each afternoon and evening.
The primary thunderstorm hazards will be erratic wind gusts as
high as 50 mph, dangerous cloud to ground lightning strikes, and
small hail. In addition, heavy rainfall may result in minor
flooding of recent burn scars.
