🚨 HIGH WIND WARNING - Nevada Weather 3/14 - Evening

Good evening. Nevada. I'm Michael Mosby. Folks, the wind is the main character today. And it's acting like it owns the place. A High Wind Warning is in effect for Elko County until 11 P.M. Tonight. Here comes west winds hitting 30 to 40 miles an hour, with gusts that could reach 60 miles an hour. These are dangerous conditions. That kind of force will snap tree branches and knock down power lines. Plus, blowing dust could drop visibility to near zero at times, secure those loose patio furniture and trampolines now before they take flight. Elsewhere, a Wind Advisory covers much of central and northern Nevada, including White Pine and Humboldt Counties. Gusts could hit 50 miles an hour here. If you're driving a high profile vehicle or pulling a trailer, you'll feel every single gust. Use extra caution. As the sun sets. Temperatures tonight are all over the map, it's currently 89 degrees in Las Vegas. The low there only drops to 59 degrees under mostly clear skies. Down in Southern Nevada, winds shift from the northwest to the north around 3 A.M. Northern Nevada is much cooler, while the Reno area sits at 37 degrees under mostly clear skies. You'll hold steady there tonight with breezy northwest winds. Eastern Nevada is the cold spot, you drop to 26 degrees tonight. It will feel like 26 degrees around 4 A.M., watch for patchy blowing dust before 8 P.M. Winds gust to 45 miles an hour. Looking ahead. Sunday brings sunny skies statewide, while las Vegas warms to 81 degrees. Reno climbs to 68, the wind warning expires by evening. Then comes the heat, here comes record-breaking temperatures. Highs in Las Vegas could hit 100 degrees by Friday, that would break the all-time March record. Stay hydrated. Charge your phones and keep the blankets handy tonight. — See you tomorrow.
