‘Red flag’ warning issued for Tahoe, western Nev.
A “red flag” warning has been issued for most of western Nevada, as well as South Lake Tahoe and Truckee for June 12 from 8am-11pm.
The National Weather Service in Reno says it will be windy and dry through Friday.
The strongest winds are expected Thursday afternoon and evening. Low humidity adds to fire danger. The conditions mean fires can grow rapidly in size and intensity.
Officials are asking people to avoid activities that may spark a fire, like yard work, target shooting or having a campfire.
