## Resource

Truckee Meadows is officially in drought after a dry winter, with Reno at D0 and western counties at D1—meaning vegetation is drying fast and fire risk is rising. A few days of rain offer temporary relief and lower immediate fire danger, but won’t fix the bigger problem. With cheatgrass already turning purple and warm winds returning next week, fire conditions could quickly worsen. Experts say only sustained, heavy storms can truly push back fire season—so while this rain buys us a little time, the real solution needs more consistent moisture to break the drought cycle.
