.SHORT TERM...WITH NICE CLEAR SKIES AND WARM 700MB TEMPS OVER THE

THE CWA TODAY BEFORE COOLING OFF ABOUT 5 TO 10 DEGREES MONDAY.
THIS AFTERNOON HEATING...PVA OVER NORTHERN NYE COUNTY...AND 850MB
CONVERGENCE WILL CAUSE SOME CLOUDINESS TO DEVELOP OVER THIS AREA.
THERE EVEN MAY BE A FEW DRY LIGHTNING STRIKES LATE THIS AFTER NOON.

THE MAIN FOCUS HOWEVER WILL BE ON A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT TRACKS
ITS WAY ACROSS THE SILVER STATE TODAY CAUSING WINDS TO PICK UP THIS
AFTERNOON. MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF ON STRENGTH COMPARED TO
YESTERDAY. HOWEVER SOME AREAS MAY SEE SHORT PERIODS OF GUSTY WINDS
AND ALMOST ALL AREAS WILL SEE LOW RH VALUES. THUS HAVE LEFT FIRE
WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT. NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH IN WINDS TO UPGRADE
ATTM. DAY SHIFT WILL NEED TO MONITOR CONDITIONS.  HAVE COORDINATED
WITH RENO AND SALT LAKE ON THIS ISSUE---APPRECIATE THEIR HELP. RENO
ALSO IN AGREEMENT THAT WIND WILL BE MARGINAL BUT IS UPGRADING FWZ
453 MAINLY FOR THE WESTERN REGION OF THE ZONE. WINDS WILL MAINLY
PICK UP IN THE EVENING WHEN RH VALUES ARE BACK ON THE RISE. MONDAY
LOOKS SOMEWHAT MORE FAVORABLE...BUT AGAIN MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF
WINDS A LITTLE AND CONDITIONS MAY BE MARGINAL. DRY LIGHTNING IS
ALSO POSSIBLE IN THE CONVERGENCE ZONE ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. IPPI

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. WEAK TROUGH OVER NEVADA
TO BEGIN THE PERIOD...PUSHED OFF TO THE EAST BY WEDNESDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. UPPER LEVEL LOW PARKED OVER GULF
OF ALASKA COMBINING WITH HIGH PRESSURE BELOW 40N CREATING A LONG
FETCH OF ZONAL FLOW NORTH OF NEVADA UP TO CANADA...EXTENDING WELL
OFFSHORE. MID-WEEK AND BEYOND...FOUR CORNERS HIGH SLOWLY BUILDS...
PUSHING JET ENERGY FURTHER INTO CANADA. AS HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT PARKS
OVER THE REGION...A THERMAL TROUGH EXPANDS TO COVER THE MOUNTAIN
WEST FROM THE SIERRAS TO THE ROCKIES. AFTERNOON TEMPS WILL REMAIN
ABOVE NORMAL WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES SLOWLY LOWERING THROUGH THE
WEEK. LINE OF AFTERNOON INSTABILITY THROUGH CENTRAL NEVADA WILL
LINGER THROUGH THE WEEK. MOISTURE IS LIMITED HOWEVER...SO AFTERNOON
CU FORMATION WILL LIKELY BE THE EXTENT OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. ROOD
