NWS Warns That Heat, Smoke and Thunderstorms are on the Way

Forecasters at the National Weather Service office in Reno are warning that an extended period of above normal temperatures is expected this week.

While no records are anticipated, weather experts recommend that you consider reducing, canceling or rescheduling strenuous activities to a cooler time of the day.

Higher risk people, such as infants, the elderly, or sick individuals should remain in the coolest available place.

Never leave children or animals in a vehicle for any amount of time.

There is a chance (10-20%) for storms Tuesday afternoon, evening, and overnight into early Wednesday morning. The biggest concerns with any storms that develop will be for
gusty and erratic outflow winds and dry lightning.

It looks like the region will have a break from storms Wednesday into Thursday with additional thunderstorm chances (10-20%) Friday and into the weekend.

Smoke from the Washburn Fire near Yosemite could impact areas of the Eastern Sierra and the Tahoe basin tonight into Wednesday, but most likely wont make it as far north as the Honey Lake Valley.

The potential density of smoke remains uncertain, however pockets of poor air quality are possible. For the latest air quality conditions and recommendations go to fire.airnow.gov.
