By Monday afternoon, high temperatures will be near normal for this time of year. A trough of low pressure will move eastward across Northern Nevada Monday afternoon and Monday evening, resulting in a slight chance of valley rain and mountain snow. Any precipitation associated with this atmospheric disturbance will remain north of Interstate 80. Precipitation chances will be highest near the Nevada/Idaho border. Precipitation amounts will be no higher than one tenth of an inch.
Zonal flow aloft is anticipated Tuesday through Thursday. This will result in dry weather and temperatures slightly below seasonal values. An Eastern Pacific storm system may begin to impact Northern and Central Nevada as early as Friday morning. Precipitation chances will increase Friday afternoon through Saturday as this storm system moves closer to the west coast of the United States.
