WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS ARE STREAMING
OVER NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEVADA THIS AFTERNOON. AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE CAN BE SEEN OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC AT THIS TIME. FOR
TONIGHT, A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL BRUSH THE FAR NORTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA WITH LITTLE TO NO PRECIPITATION EXPECTED. NO
IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE 20S.
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY, ALL MODELS ARE DEPICTING THE UPPER RIDGE
BUILDING OFF THE WEST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS WILL LEAD
TO A WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER THE FORECAST AREA. A WEAK
DISTURBANCE WILL AGAIN BRUSH FAR NORTHEASTERN NEVADA TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY, BRINGING LIGHT SHOWERS TO THIS PORTION. SNOW LEVELS
DURING THIS TIME WILL BE WELL NORTH OF 8500 FEET AS HIGH
TEMPERATURES CLIMB TO WELL ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS DURING THE DAY,
REACHING THE 50 TO LOW 60S. SOME RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE
POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY BY MID-WEEK. THIS WILL HELP TO LIMIT ANY
SNOW FALL TO THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS ACROSS NORTHEAST NEVADA.
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE 20S AND 30S. WINDS WILL BE BREEZY
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST EACH AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 MPH.
ALL MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE UPPER RIDGE MAINTAINING ITS
POSITION OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
THIS WILL RESULT IN UNSEASONABLY WARM AFTERNOON HIGHS THROUGH THE
THE WEEKEND. READINGS WILL BE IN THE 50S TO EVEN SOME LOW 60S.
LOWS WILL BE IN THE TEENS AND 20S.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO REMAIN
HIGH WITH RESPECT TO CURRENT HANDLING OF UPPER RIDGING OVER THE
THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES. WITH THE INCOMING MID-WEEK WEAK
