As we head into the weekend, the Reno National Weather Service has issued a fire weather watch for Saturday, signaling a heightened risk of fire danger due to expected strong winds.
Gusts are forecasted to exceed 35 mph, with peak speeds likely between 1 and 8 pm. Forecasters are closely monitoring weather models and warn that the watch could be upgraded to a red flag warning later today or tomorrow if conditions worsen.
Conditions are expected to improve by Sunday, bringing some relief as we move into next week.
