* Affected Area...Fire Weather Zone 270 Surprise Valley
California, Fire Weather Zone 278 Eastern Lassen County and
Fire Weather Zone 458 Northern Washoe County.

* Winds...Southwest to west 15-25 mph with gusts to 35 mph.

* Humidity...Minimum humidity of 9-18% in the afternoon.

* Duration...3 to 7 hours.

* Impacts...The combination of gusty winds and low humidity can
cause fire to rapidly grow in size and intensity before first
responders can contain them. These dry and windy conditions
could also rekindle fires in areas which received lightning in
recent days.

* Additional Details...Dry conditions and shorter periods of gusty
winds will also produce elevated to locally critical fire
weather conditions each afternoon through early next week.

Avoid outdoor activities that can cause a spark near dry
vegetation, such as yard work, target shooting, or campfires.
Follow local fire restrictions. Check weather.gov/reno for
