Low pressure will be moving closer to northern and central Nevada for the upcoming weekend. This will help to increase the winds across the area with locations in central Nevada seeing wind gusts to 45 mph. It will remain breezy to windy on Sunday but winds won’t be as strong.

Near record warmth is expected across Northern and Central Nevada each afternoon Wednesday through Friday. This will accelerate the process of snowmelt and enhance runoff into area creeks and rivers. Residents and outdoor enthusiasts are urged to exercise caution when walking near rapidly flowing waterways. Currents will be strong and the water will be cold. Hypothermia can occur quickly when immersed in cold water.
