Wind, humidity to create fire weather in Tahoe

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.
