.DISCUSSION...
(This afternoon through next Tuesday)
Issued at 929 AM PDT Tue Jun 24 2025

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW:

All models continue to show a weak upper trough over the Great
Basin this early afternoon period. Current radar loop is showing
light showers/virga over portions of northern and central Nevada
this afternoon. No precipitation has been noted on remote
observing sites but expecting very light, if any, rain amounts.
The overnight period will see mainly quiet conditions with any
convective activity diminishing after sunset. Overnight lows will
be in the 40s.

By tomorrow, the upper trough axis is expected to shift to the
east. This will bring a more west to east flow. A slightly drier
and more stable air mass will be present during this time,
bringing in quieter weather to northern and central Nevada. Highs
tomorrow will be in the 80s for the most part, with some of the
cooler locales seeing the 70s. Some afternoon breezes will be
prevalent in the northern sections of Humboldt and Elko counties
with gusts to 20 mph. Calm and quiet conditions are expected for
Wednesday night into Thursday with lows in the 40s to low 50s.

From Thursday through the weekend, look for southwest flow to keep
a lid on the sensible weather from Thursday until roughly Saturday with
temperatures warming a few degrees each day with readings in the
80s, climbing into the 90s by Saturday. It will be breezy on
Friday afternoon with gusts to 25 mph. Overnight lows will be in
the 40s and 50s. By Sunday and Monday, upper ridging begins to
build over the southwestern United States with an upper low off to
the west. The resulting flow out of the south could bring moisture
northward and across eastern Nevada. This will allow for mainly
isolated showers and thunderstorms by roughly Sunday and/or Monday.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS:

High forecast confidence in regard to the warming trend through
the week.
