Hot temperatures ahead for Carson City, western Nevada prompts Heat Advisory
Near record high temperatures later this week across western Nevada and the Carson City region has prompted the National Weather Service to issue a heat advisory Thursday through Saturday.
The advisory is from 11 a.m. Thursday to 10 p.m. Saturday and extends through all of western Nevada and northeast California, including Reno and Sparks, Carson City, Minden, Dayton, Yerington, Fallon, Fernley, Lovelock, Hawthorne, Gerlach, Susanville, and Cedarville.
Near record daytime high temperatures of 99 to 104 forecast Thursday through Saturday, with well above normal overnight low temperatures of 65 to 75, according to the weather service.
High risk of heath health impacts for much of the population, especially those without sufficient cooling or hydration resources, and those outdoors for extended periods of time, forecasters said.
While daytime high temperatures will be near or above records, limited overnight cooling will exacerbate heat health impacts especially for those without air conditioning.
The weather service advises people should drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.
