DISCUSSION
(This afternoon through Monday)
WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: A ridge of high pressure will build northward across the Silver State through Thanksgiving Day, with a warming trend expected. By Thursday afternoon, maximum temperatures across Northern and Central Nevada will be twelve to fourteen degrees above seasonal values. A cold front will move southeastward into Utah Friday. The southern extent of this cold front may clip Northeastern Nevada Friday, resulting in a slight chance of light precipitation. This small precipitation possibility should be confined to Northern Elko County.
Another cold front will move southward across Eastern Nevada Saturday night into Sunday morning. There is a slight chance of light precipitation in Northern and Central Nevada ahead of and along this cold front Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning. High temperatures throughout Northern and Central Nevada Saturday afternoon will be seven to nine degrees colder than Friday afternoon. Maximum temperatures across Northern and Central Nevada Sunday afternoon will be a couple of degrees below normal for this time of year. Minimum apparent temperatures Sunday night will be near zero degrees in the coldest valleys of Northern and Central Nevada. High temperatures will return to seasonal values Monday afternoon.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: High forecast confidence in a warming trend Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day. Moderate forecast confidence regarding colder weather this weekend into early next week. Low forecast confidence in the slight possibility of light precipitation Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning. No changes or deviations from the NBM model output.
