The Great Plains is an area where weather is extreme. Periods of extreme drought are then followed by periods of heavy rain, and other various violent storms/natural disasters.
The middle of the country is where the great plains is defined. As you can see from this map, Nevada is probably the driest state in terms of rainfall, averaging less than 5 inches per year.
Tornadoes, thunderstorms, hail, and droughts all occur throughout the great plains consistently. Very cold winters and very hot summers are common through the great plains. In Nevada, much is the same. Very hot summers and quite cool winters, but without all the extreme weather.
Here is a map showing the average wind speeds throughout the states. As you can see, weather in Nevada is pretty dull, but consistent. In the great plains, up to down from Texas to Minnesota, you can see that there is a wide variety of wind speed.
