A heat advisory goes into effect for pretty much the western half of Nevada 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday with the high in Minden forecast to hit 93 degrees. The record high for June 10 is 98 degrees set in 1955. The record for today is 100 degrees set in 2013, so unless we hit triple digits, those records are safe.
Today’s forecast calls for 88 degrees and mostly sunny skies, with the zephyr picking up at 10-15 mph this afternoon, and gusts of up to 25 mph.
