(Today through next Thursday) Issued at 204 AM PDT Thu Jun 26

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW:

Dry quiet conditions will continue through next week with
temperatures slowly rising each day. Upper level ridge forecast to
expand and intensify over the great basin and will be the primary
influence on sensible weather for NE Nevada through the
Independence day holiday. Temperatures will start in the low 80s
to low 90s for highs, and the upper 40s to upper 50s for morning
lows, rising to the mid 90s to mid 100s for highs and lows
reaching the upper 50s to upper 60s by the weekend.

Weak perturbations in the flow from passing northern stream
systems will help to occasionally tighten the pressure gradient
boosting afternoon winds, as well as bringing some moisture and
instability into the area, allowing for isolated thunderstorms to
build over the far north and eastern part of NV during the
afternoon starting Saturday, and again next Monday. Winds will be
light to breezy out of the west to southwest at 5 to 15mph with
gusts up to 25mph possible.


FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS:

Confidence remains high as models are in very good agreement on
the course of upper level ridging building across the region
leading to very warm temperatures over the period. |

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)

VFR conditions forecast at all terminals through Friday. Winds
during the afternoons will be generally westerly at 5KT to 15KT
with a few gusts up to 25KT possible.


&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Fire weather concerns will be elevated for the period as building
high pressure keeps warming trend on track through the week.
However afternoon SW winds at 5-15 mph with gusts 20-25 mph will
be breezy, and afternoon min RH values do drop below 15%, both
will avoid reaching critical values for the period.
