.DISCUSSION...
(This evening through next Saturday)

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Current radar loop this afternoon is
depicting isolated to scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms
across much of northern Nevada this afternoon. The convective
activity will gradually shift during the east during the
overnight. Clouds are expected to scatter out during the night
with mostly sunny skies and drier air becoming prevalent by
morning. With the clearing skies, radiational cooling is expected
to bring cold temperatures to the forecast area. As a result,
multiple frost and freeze headlines have been issued with some of
the colder locales possibly seeing the low to mid 20s tonight.
Most locations will generally be in the low to mid 30s though with
light winds.

A fairly expansive ridge is currently sitting across the
southeastern United States at this time, helping to keep a
longwave trough over the western United States. A slow warmup will
commence during the week with readings warming a few degrees each
day, with highs returning to the 80s by mid-week, with the
possibility of the 90s by the end of the week and into the
weekend. Overnight lows will continue to remain on the chilly
side with 30s Monday night, rising to the 40s and 50s by the
middle portions of the week. At this time, winds will remain
breezy with afternoon gusts of 20 to 25 mph but are expected to
remain below advisory thresholds at this time.


FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: Confidence is moderate to high
regarding the cold temperatures tonight, hence the frost and
freeze headlines. Moderate confidence for quiet weather conditions
through next week. No changes were made to NBM grids at this
time.

.AVIATION...

VFR conditions will continue at all terminals through the 24 hour
period. ISOLD to SCT showers and ISOLD thunderstorms will continue
to shift east during the evening hours tonight with clouds
scattering out from west to east by Monday morning. Very low
chance (less than ten percent) of seeing fog across the northern
terminals. Winds will be light tomorrow with afternoon breezes to
25KT possible at KTPH.


&&


.FIRE WEATHER...

Isolated to scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will
continue across much of Northeastern Nevada through the early
evening hours. Drier across Central Nevada where breezy NW winds
gusting to 30 mph and RHs in the 10 to 20 percent range are
expected to remain during the late afternoon and early evening.
Look for fairly benign conditions through the rest of the week
with afternoon breezes and a slow warmup.
