DISCUSSION
(Today through Friday)
WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: This morning, lingering chances of precipitation across the region with probabilities of up to 20% of seeing additional rain showers. By this afternoon, the chances dissipate below 20% for weather activity as a low pressure system weakens and moves further north, leaving calmer weather conditions overhead. High temperatures will by slightly warmer in the upper 60s to low 70s. Some breezy winds across northeastern Nevada with gusts up to 20-25 mph.
Sunday through next Friday, quiet weather conditions and warming temperatures will be the dominant factor for Nevada as upper ridging dominates across the CONUS. A low pressure system over the Alaskan Gulf will help keep the pattern as a zonal flow over Nevada but will not hinder the increasing temperatures each day, with highs starting in the 70s, warming into the 80s throughout much of the week, and by the end of the week, some areas could see 90 degrees return, as summer finally takes hold. Winds will be generally light each day.
