including Carson City, Douglas, Storey, Southern Washoe,

Zone 423 West Humboldt Basin in Pershing County and Fire

* Humidity...Minimum humidity of 6-12% in the afternoon with poor
overnight recoveries of 20-40% tonight into Saturday morning.

* Duration...4 to 8 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.
