The National Weather Service has issued a fire weather watch for Western Nevada for all day Tuesday and Wednesday. The strongest winds are expected Tuesday afternoon, with speeds of 15-25 mph and gusts up to 40 mph. Humidity is expected to drop to 5-10 percent drying out fuels. Gusty winds are back on Wednesday. The weather service may issue a red flag warning.
