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.
