DISCUSSION
(Today through Monday)
WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: A trough of low pressure will push through NV today, but moisture availability is limited. A warming trend begins today as high temperatures increase gradually each afternoon through Saturday. A warmer atmosphere overhead may influence isolated storm activity particularly over northern Elko County Wednesday PM.
The ULT over Canada will shift eastward enough to allow northerly flow in the NE flank of an HPC to the southwest to influence a brief quiet period in the Great Basin through late week. Long term guidance supports the another weather system set to impact the region with its LPC centered over Puget Sound by Saturday. Timing and precipitation amounts with next weekends system currently suffer from model disagreement.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: Moderate confidence remains in a warming trend through the week. Confidence exists in another weather system setting up for next weekend though timing and precipitation amounts have no confidence at this time. No major changes to grids needed at this time.
AVIATION
IFR ceilings will persist in KELY early this morning. VFR conditions will prevail at all terminals this afternoon and tonight.
