The heat wave continues this week across the west and for Reno and our valleys with an excessive heat warning up until 10 am on Friday.

A red flag warning is up for western and central Nevada, Monday from noon until 8pm. The wind will gust in the 30 to 40 mph range with low humidity and very dry conditions.

It’s very smoky around the region with unhealthy air quality for sensitive groups.

Very dry conditions and strong winds will give us critical fire weather.

A red flag warning is up through Thursday evening, for much of Nevada, with gusty winds and high fire danger.

There's a chance for showers and thunderstorms in central and eastern Nevada where dry lightning will be a concern.

A hot, dry and breezy forecast continues on Monday and Tuesday with afternoon winds in the 15 to 30 mph range over the Davis Fire burning in South Reno.

Get ready for a stormy Wednesday, with an area of low pressure that will set up over the region through Thursday giving us afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

A red flag warning goes up under the red areas you see on the map from 11am until 8pm on Friday with gusty winds and high fire danger.

Another storm moves in Thursday morning with another round of rain and mountain snow showers
