Special Weather Statement
Special Weather Statement National Weather Service RENO NV 200 PM PDT Fri Sep 4 2020 CAZ072-073-NVZ002-060000- Greater Lake Tahoe Area-Mono County- Including the cities of South Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City, Truckee, Markleeville, Bridgeport, Coleville, Lee Vining, Mammoth Lakes, Stateline, Glenbrook, and Incline Village 200 PM PDT Fri Sep 4 2020 ...Very Warm Daytime Temperatures and Dry Conditions through Labor Day Weekend... * High temperatures in mountain communities near or above 90 degrees, with some record highs, are likely this holiday weekend. With fewer homes having air conditioning available, heat impacts could be more noticeable during the afternoon. * Since this is a holiday weekend, many people will be outdoors participating in recreation activities which could increase risk of heat health impacts, especially on lakes where shade is not available. Be sure to keep hydrated, use sunscreen and wear protective clothing. Smoke and haze could also contribute to additional concerns for those sensitive to heat or reductions in air quality. * It would be a good idea to have some indoor, morning, or evening "Plan B" activities in mind. Temperatures will cool off substantially each night, so the best way to avoid the heat is to schedule more strenuous activities away from the afternoon hours. * Remember that conditions will be very dry, and by Monday afternoon some increase in winds is expected. Avoid any activities that could produce an increased fire risk, and follow all area restrictions for campfires and use of outdoor grills. $$ http://weather.gov/reno
