Several days of triple-digit temperatures are forecast for Reno as hot, dry weather continues across northwestern Nevada through next week.
The prolonged stretch of heat is part of a broader weather pattern affecting much of the West.
While the hottest conditions are expected across the Desert Southwest, the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center forecasts widespread Major to Extreme HeatRisk across portions of the Southwest and Intermountain West into early next week.
In the Reno area, highs are expected to climb above 100 degrees Friday and remain well above normal for much of the week.
Reno is forecast to reach highs of 101 to 102 degrees during the hottest stretch, while Lake Tahoe communities could see highs around 93 degrees at lake level and the low 80s at higher elevations.
Afternoon breezes with gusts up to 25 mph, low humidity and hot, dry conditions will create periods of elevated fire weather concerns through the weekend.
Smoke and haze from active wildfires could also reduce air quality at times across parts of northwest and west-central Nevada.
