Gusty southwest winds will continue through Wednesday, bringing dangerous boating conditions at Lake Tahoe and Pyramid and areas of blowing dust elsewhere, according to the National Weather Service in Reno.
The winds will also bring additional smoke from the Rough, Lumpkin, Valley, and Butte fires across the Sierra and northern Nevada.
The intensity of the smoke and air quality impacts will be dependent on how active the fires are burning. For air quality information go to airnow.gov.
