DISCUSSION
(This evening through next Friday)
WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: A few weak echoes are noticed on this afternoon's radar with nothing detected on remote observation platforms. Not too much activity is expected during the evening and overnight hours. Expect lows in the 30s and 40s.
A mainly west to east flow is over northern and central Nevada at this time. Afternoon sprinkles will be possible tomorrow with highs climbing into the 70s. Overnight lows will be in the 30s and 40s.
By Monday, upper low pressure will remain station across the northern Rockies with upper ridging trying to build across the eastern Pacific. For northern and central Nevada, expect a few degrees of warming along with a mix of clouds and sun. Highs will be in the 70s and 80 with light winds. Overnight lows will be in the 30s and 40s with calm conditions.
Look for afternoon highs to continue warming each afternoon, reaching above normal levels through the period. Highs will be in the 80s to even the low 90s with lows in the 30s and 40s. Winds will be light, though stronger breezes are possible from Thursday onward.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: Added low end pops to account for limited moisture, instability and a convergent axis setting up across, and affecting portions of, northeast and central Nevada. Also bumped winds up slightly in the northeast and east for this afternoon and evening. COnfidence is high with warming through the week, but low confidence exists for virga showers/sprinkles through Monday.
AVIATION
VFR conditions will prevail at all terminals through at least the next 24 hours. Chances for light afternoon breezes up to 20KT will continue tomorrow at all terminal locations.
