Please continue to call this number when you send a web spot request to the Reno NWS office to ensure that we have received the request. The main spot forecast monitoring page shows you all of today s spot forecasts on the map and also in the list at the bottom of the page. The dots on the map show the locations of the burns, and the status of the spot forecast requests. Green squares indicate requests that are still pending. Purple squares indicate burns where questions have been asked.
Red squares indicate burns where the forecast has been completed.
You can either click on the dots on the map, or the list of spot names at the bottom of the page to view the individual webpage for each request. You fill in this form with the information needed to request a spot forecast. The first time you fill out a spot request, almost all the boxes will be empty. The elements highlighted in red are required for us to complete your spot forecast. While the other items may not be necessary, they are very important to our ability to make an accurate and useful forecast.
