Fire weather alerts span three states

Fire-weather concerns are forecast across parts of California, Nevada and Wyoming, with dry conditions, low humidity and gusty winds creating the potential for fires to spread quickly. In eastern Lassen County and Surprise Valley, an alert for Friday afternoon and evening calls for west winds gusting up to 35 mph and humidity as low as 12%; reports differ on whether the NWS issued a red flag warning or a fire weather watch. A separate watch covers Southern Mono County on Saturday, when southwest gusts could reach 35 to 45 mph. In northeast Wyoming, a Friday watch covers Gillette and Campbell County, where humidity could fall to 10% and gusts reach 35 mph; cooler, wetter weather is expected over the weekend. Another report describes an evening fire weather watch for several Nevada counties, though it gives no specific weather conditions. Residents in affected areas are urged to monitor NWS updates and avoid activities that could spark fires near dry vegetation.
