Carson City area weather: Heat Advisory issued for much of Western Nevada
While we're in late spring, temperatures Wednesday and Thursday will feel more like a summer heat wave, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a Heat Advisory for the Carson City area and throughout western Nevada.
Temperatures are expected to be between 95 to 100 during the day with overnight lows 65 to 70, NWS forecasters said, while urging people to take necessary precautions. The Heat Advisory is from today, Wednesday, 10 a.m. to Thursday, 8 p.m.
The hot weather is expected to taper off Friday and Saturday, into Sunday with highs in the mid to upper 80s for the Carson City area and surrounding counties.
In the meantime, the weather service advises people sensitive to hot weather to rescheduling activities, recognize heat illness, drink plenty of fluids, take frequent breaks in A/C, and use sun protection. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.
