DISCUSSION

(Right now)

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Isolated to scattered light showers with isolated thunderstorms are moving northeastward across northern and central Nevada this evening. The main threats for dry lightning have subsided in the north so have allowed that red flag warning to expire at 11 pm. In addition the warning for winds and RH has also been allowed to expire at 11pm as RH values are slowing rising with decreasing winds speeds such that thresholds are no longer being met.

There is still a fire weather watch for fire weather zones 438, 469, 470 for tomorrow.
