.SYNOPSIS...High pressure overhead will promote continued warm and
dry conditions with above average high temperatures through
Saturday before a cold front attempts to slip southward across the
Silver State Saturday night into Sunday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Tuesday through Wednesday night

Nearly a carbon copy forecast today across northern and central
Nevada with high pressure remaining dominant in the larger-scale
Rex block over the western CONUS. Highs this afternoon look to top
off in the low 50s for most of the region, likely a degree or two
warmer than yesterday as the center of the upper high shifts
slight further south and east out of the Pacific Northwest. Highs
in and around the inversion level will remain tricky, however,
with persistent fog and freezing fog in the Black Rock Desert in
southwestern Humboldt County not being represented well in HREF
members.

Similar conditions forecast for Wednesday with the high continuing
its slow progression south and east towards northern Nevada. HREF
guidance continues the strong inversion fog in the Black Rock
Desert through Wednesday night with weak surface and low-level
winds hindering any mixing. Highs across the region will favor the
low to mid 50s once again.

.LONG TERM...Thursday through next Tuesday

Continued upper level ridging to end the week will result in
temperatures 10-15 degrees above normal on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. No precipitation will be present during this time, and
winds remain below 10mph. Saturday night into Sunday, an upper
level trough begins its passage across the forecast area. While
long term cluster and ensemble analysis puts the trough axis to
the east, it will still be close enough to impact the forecast
area. Elko county will experience some slightly stronger winds (15
mph) and scattered precipitation chances (30% or less) on Sunday
and Monday. More broadly, the entire forecast area will see
temperatures drop to near normal on Sunday and remain there to
start next week.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR conditions are expected at all terminals for the
next 24 hours. Winds will be generally light, around 10KT or less.
FEW to SCT upper and mid-level clouds will also be present with
cloud bases around 15,000 feet.

&&

.LKN Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
None.
