Winds spark fire danger in Tahoe-Reno region
Dry, windy weather is the forecast for all of Saturday. This in turn means a red flag warning when it comes to the threat of fire in the Lake Tahoe-Reno region.
The National Weather Service’s red flag warning is in effect from 11am-11pm Aug. 21. There is a lake wind advisory until 8pm.
Winds are expected to be from the south at 10-20mph, with gusts up to 30mph.
It is a strong low pressure system off the coast that is creating the winds.
Sunday and Monday should bring less wind and cooler temperatures.
