Local Weather Forecast

Mostly sunny and hot with a chance for afternoon thunderstorms and light afternoon winds. Look for temperatures to reach 99° in Reno and 92° in Galena. Hot again today with some high clouds this morning and a chance for some mostly dry lightening around thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. A RED FLAG WARNING has been posted for this afternoon and evening due to potential dry lightening fire starts. A little cooler Monday as clouds will increase along with the possibility of thunderstorms. Likely the storms Monday and Tuesday will have more moisture associated with them and thus the fire danger will be lower. Late in the week the ridge builds again with hot temperatures as we near next weekend.
