This will promote sunshine and dry weather for most of the region. The only exception will be Florida where a flow off the Atlantic Ocean will produce a few showers. A passing weak cold front will bring a few showers to the Upper Midwest. Warmer air will surge ahead of this front across the Mississippi Valley and central Plains. Meanwhile, former Typhoon Songda will bring rain and wind to the Northwest.

Atrioofwind- whipped wildfires burning along the Sierra Nevada on Friday destroyed 19 homes north of Carson City, forced hundreds of evacuations at Lake Tahoe and tempo- rarily closed a major high- way connecting Reno to the mountain lake. Nevada Gov. Brian San- doval declared a state of emergency as hundreds of firefighters battled the most dangerous fire, which was still threatening dozens of homes in the Washoe Val- ley along U.S. Highway 395 between Reno and Carson City. The wildland blazes forced the closures of nu- merous schools and roads, and triggered widespread power outages near the Ne- vada-California line. The so-called Little Val- ley fire broke out about 1:30 a.m. in the moun- tains between Lake Tahoe and Washoe Valley about 8 miles north of Carson City. It has burned about 3 square miles, Truckee Meadows Fire Battalion Chief Alex Kukulus said. "We've made good prog- ress on the homes we are currently protecting," Ku- kulus told reporters Friday afternoon. But "we are not out of the woods," he said. "We have active fire in the whole area and still no real contain- ment." A fire engine suffered sig- nificant damage but no in- juries have been reported. In addition to the homes, seven large barns and seven other out-buildings have burned, fire officials said. More than 4,000 resi- dents remained without power Friday afternoon, mostly in southwest Reno. Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District Chief Charles Moore said the cause of the biggest blaze was under investigation. But he said it started in an area where a controlled burn was conducted earlier this week. About 360 firefighters were manning the lines and another 500 were on the way to the scene, Kuku- lus said, some from as far away as the San Francisco Bay Area. "When we ramp this thing up this evening, we hope to have 1,000 firefight- ers in the area," he said. More than 100 homes and ranches are scattered throughout the rural valley bordering Washoe Lake. The ones that have burned are along the forested edge of the valley where it meets the eastern front of the Si- erra just west of the lake. Some rain has helped crews working in difficult terrain, and the winds that were gusting in excess of 50 mph died down a bit as the day grew on, Kukulus said. He was hopeful the winds would subside enough to al- low for the use of some he- licopters or air tankers. But he said the winds are expected to pick up again later in the day, and again Saturday. "We have lots of air or- dered up, but yet to put any up because of the wind," Kukulus said. "They are ready at a moment's notice." Evacuation centers were set up in Reno and Car- son City for displaced res- idents as well as pets and livestock. The governor left a spe- cial session of the Legisla- ture in Carson City to get a briefing on the situation. The fire delayed the start of the session, where lawmak- ers were voting on a pro- posed increase in the hotel tax in Las Vegas as part of a plan to build a football sta- dium they hope will lure the NFL's Raiders to Vegas. The fire that prompted the evacuation of 500 homes on the south end of Lake Tahoe was estimated to be 50 percent contained, thanks in part to rain show- ers from the storm packing winds that gusted in ex- cess of 100 mph over Sierra ridgetops early Friday. The El Dorado County sheriff ordered 500 homes evacuated between Em- erald Bay and South Lake Tahoe, California. That fire has burned about 200 acres and forced the closure of part of California High- way 89.
