The combination of gusty winds and low humidity may create critical fire weather conditions for the Lake Tahoe Basin on Sunday.

The National Weather Service in Reno says a fire watch is in effect for all of Sept. 29.

A strong storm system from the Northwest will be moving into the area this weekend, bringing winds of 20-30 mph and gusts up to 50pmh, along with humidity near 25 percent.

With the wind on Sunday, there is also a chance of moisture for the basin. Full sun is expected to return Tuesday.
