SYNOPSIS
A QUICK MOVING SYSTEM WILL BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW TO
NORTHEASTERN AND EASTERN NV TODAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL ALSO BRING
GUSTY WINDS ACROSS THE REGION WITH NORTHERN NYE SEEING ADVISORY
LEVEL WINDS. ANOTHER SYSTEM IS IN STORE FOR THIS FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW AND WINDS.
SHORT TERM
TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
A QUICK MOVING SYSTEM IS PASSING THROUGH NV TODAY BRINGING A COLD
ACROSS THE REGION. THIS SYSTEM DOESN'T HAVE MUCH MOISTURE
ASSOCIATED WITH IT WHICH WILL LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF SHOWERS. THESE
SHOWERS ARE MAINLY GOING TO BE IN NORTHEASTERN AND EASTERN NV
TODAY WITH THE MOUNTAINS HAVING THE BEST CHANCE AT SEEING
PRECIPITATION. ANY ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOWFALL WILL BE LIMITED WITH
JARBIDGE RANGE HAVING THE ONLY REAL CHANCE OF SEEING ANY
MEANINGFUL SNOWFALL. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE PACKING SOME WINDS
HOWEVER WITH GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED ACROSS THE SILVER STATE.
NORTHERN NYE WILL SEE THE STRONGEST WINDS WITH AN WIND ADVISORY IN
EFFECT FROM NOON TO 7 PM. COLDER AIR WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION
WITH THIS SYSTEM WITH HIGHS EXPECTED MAINLY IN THE 30S TO 40S.
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL REALLY SEE A DROP WITH SINGLE DIGITS TO TEENS
EXPECTED ACROSS THE SILVER STATE. JUST AS FAST AS THIS SYSTEM
ARRIVED IT WILL LEAVE BY THIS EVENING. THIS WILL LEAD TO THURSDAY
AND EARLY FRIDAY HAVING DRY AND FAIR WEATHER. TEMPERATURES WILL
BRIEFLY WARM BACK INTO THE 40S FOR MOST AREAS WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS
RETURNING TO THE 20S. THIS FAIR WEATHER WILL PROVE TO BE TRANSIENT
IN NATURE AS WELL AS ANOTHER SYSTEM IMPACTS THE REGION STARTING
ON FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL MAINLY IMPACT NORTHEASTERN NV ON
FRIDAY WITH SNOW SHOWERS. THESE SHOWERS ARE LOOKING TO BE ON THE
LIGHTER SIDE BUT CAN CAUSE A COUPLE INCHES FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND
UNDER AN INCH FOR NORTHER ELKO VALLEYS. THIS SYSTEM WILL ALSO
BRING GUSTY WINDS TO THE REGION WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS BEING IN
NORTHERN NV THIS TIME AROUND. FRIDAY ITSELF WILL BE A WARM DAY
WITH HIGHS IN THE 40S AND 50S. THE COLD AIR WITH THE SYSTEM WILL
BE DELAYED A BIT AND SHOULD IMPACT THE REGION LATER ON SATURDAY.
LONG TERM
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY.
TROF AND ITS COLD FRONT CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH NEVADA ON FRIDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATION BY THE END OF
SATURDAY STILL APPEAR TO BE LIGHT, WITH VALLEYS LOOKING TO
RECEIVE LESS THEN AN INCH OF SNOW. THE JARBIDGE/INDEPENDENCE RANGE
WILL ONCE AGAIN HAVE A BETTER CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATIONS, WHERE 2-5
INCHES OF NEW SNOW COULD FALL OVER THE PERIOD. IT WILL BE BREEZY
TO WINDY IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT ON SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND HIGHS WILL BE MAINLY IN THE 30'S.
DRYING WILL TAKE PLACE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY AS SOME
RIDGING ATTEMPTS TO BUILD IN. HIGHS WILL BE WARMING A LITTLE, FROM
THE MID 30'S TO THE MID 40'S AFTER A COOLER MORNING LOW MAINLY IN
THE TEENS, THOUGH COLDEST VALLEYS COULD DIP INTO THE SINGLE
DIGITS.
DETAILS ON THE WEATHER FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY IS A LITTLE
MUDDLED, BUT THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS FOR RIDGING TO CONTINUE
WITH TEMPERATURES RISING ABOVE NORMAL. THE CANADIAN MODEL AND ITS
WETTER SOLUTION IS INFLUENCING THE NBM BY BRINGING SOME POPS INTO
THIS PERIOD AND THE FORECAST WILL GO WITH THIS SINCE IT IS DAY 6
AND 7, THOUGH WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF FUTURE RUNS DRY OUT THIS
PERIOD.
AVIATION
VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD. A
COLD FRONT SWEEPS INTO NORTHERN NEVADA PRODUCING BRIEF PERIODS OF
MVFR CIGS AT KEKO IN SNOW SHOWERS BETWEEN 15Z-21Z WEDNESDAY.
AREAS OF OBSCURED MOUNTAINS CAN BE EXPECTED ON ANY ROUTES ACROSS
NE NV IN THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. STRONG WINDS WITH GUSTS
REACHING 40KTS ARE EXPECTED AT KTPH FROM 18Z-24Z WEDNESDAY. GUSTY
WINDS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL OTHER TAF SITES BUT GUSTS TO 25KTS TO
30KTS.
