Eureka counties
The National Weather Service in Elko has issued a red flag
warning... which is in effect until 9 PM PDT this evening... for gusty
winds and low relative humidity in central Nevada zone 457.
Discussion... a low pressure system will move by to the north of
Nevada... dragging a cold front across the Silver state late this
afternoon and evening. Strong winds ahead of and along the cold
front will combine with drier air moving in from the southwest to
result in hazardous fire weather conditions across fire weather
zone 457. Wind gusts of 30 to 35 mph with relative humidity values
of 5 to 15 percent will occur through this evening.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now... or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds... low relative humidity... and warm temperatures will
create explosive fire growth potential.
