.DISCUSSION...
(Tonight through next Tuesday)
WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Cool temperatures in the morning with
coldest temperatures in the Ruby Valley and Clover Valley in the
30s before sunrise. Low temperatures for the rest of the region in
the 40s to 50s with high temperatures today expected to warm up
in the 80s across the region. High pressure continues to
strengthen today, providing stable conditions today, however the
system will be pushed east by Thursday afternoon as a low
pressure system moves towards southern California, producing a
southerly flow across Nevada. The low pressure will bring in
cooler temperatures and 30% chance of showers across central
Nevada by Thursday night. Friday, mostly cloudy conditions with a
40% chance of showers and 20% chance of thunderstorms in central
Nevada, while northern Nevada sees a 20% chance of showers. For
Saturday, greater confidence from the models with chances of
showers and thunderstorms at 10-20% as drier air begins to move
back in and pushes the moisture east. Sunday, mostly sunny as near
zonal flow moves over the west. Gradual increase in temperatures
expected in the beginning of next week, with highs reaching back
into the 80s.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: No changes to the grids at this
time. Greater confidence of Saturday POPs respectively showing the
proper chances for showers.
