FNUS55 KLKN 230922 FWFLKN Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northern and Central Nevada National Weather Service Elko NV 222 AM PDT Sun Aug 23 2026 Note: Check Fire Weather Discussion in the Area Forecast Discussion for more info Note: Thunderstorms imply gusty and erratic winds Note: CWR means precipitation totals will be more than 0.10 inches Note: Winds in the extended forecast are average daytime winds .DISCUSSION... Monsoonal moisture will bring a daily 20% to 50% chance for isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms each afternoon and evening through Monday. High pressure building west from the southern plains will begin to limit moisture flow for Tuesday and Wednesday decreasing storm coverage and chances to 10% to 30% for a mix of isolated wet or dry thunderstorms. Hazards, however remain gusty outflow winds up to 50 MPH, ground lightning strikes, and brief heavy rainfall. High pressure will act to fully end storm chances Thursday into the following weekend. && NVZ437-232315- Humboldt County-Quinn- 222 AM PDT Sun Aug 23 2026 .TODAY... * Sky/weather........Partly sunny.
