Most of the California fires are in their last stages, and none are producing much in the way of smoke that might move into Western Nevada. Fire crews got a line around the Mono fire a day early last night and they are mopping up the 1,205-acre fire. The Potato fire near Bridgeport has been out for more than a day
A red flag warning goes into effect 2-10 p.m. today as gusty winds and low humidity conspire to increase the chance of ignition. A fire weather watch is in place for Saturday when critical fire conditions are possible. There won't be any lightning, so we'll have only ourselves to blame if there's a fire.
Expect high temperatures today in the low 90s under sunny skies. The wind will be 10-15 mph gusting to 25 mph at times. The wind will continue to build tonight with gusts increasing to 30 mph.
