Good morning, Reno.
Firefighters are mopping up after a brush fire east of Pyramid Lake and north of Nixon in Pershing County.
A brush fire burned 2.22 acres near El Rancho Drive and Sullivan Lane in Sparks just after 7 p.m. Friday; firefighters from Sparks Fire Department, Reno Fire Department + Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue contained the blaze without injuries and reopened nearby roads.
Data from Turbli showed that Reno-Tahoe International Airport ranked among the top 10 most turbulent airports, caused by mountain wave turbulence from the nearby Sierra Nevada.
The report measured conditions during approach and descent, explaining why flights into Reno felt bumpier yesterday.
The Nevada Department of Wildlife placed Virginia Lake on a harmful algal bloom watch after toxins were detected and noted visible algae at Paradise Park Pond.
Reno anglers and visitors are advised to use caution, wash fish well, and consider nearby stocked waters.
Reno officials warn that dangerous algae at Virginia Lake have prompted a red flag warning until 11 p.m. today — gusty winds up to 45 mph and low humidity heighten fire risks and trigger a lake wind advisory at Washoe Lake, urging boaters to postpone activities.
Sparks officials say roads from El Rancho Drive and Sun Valley Boulevard to Sullivan Lane reopened today after a brush fire closed them.
They warn gusty winds and low humidity create hazardous conditions on Washoe Lake until 11 p.m., advising boats, kayaks and paddle boards to remain off the water.
Washoe County homes reached a record median sale price of $635,000 in May as limited listings and nearly 25% fewer homes challenged buyers.
Mortgage advisers say homeowners are keeping low 3% rates, making it harder for buyers to find options in Reno and Sparks.
