PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE AREA TUESDAY FOR A DRYING AND WARM TREND
THROUGH THURSDAY.

STILL SHOWING SOLID WINDS ACROSS CENTRAL NV AND WILL KEEP BREEZY AND
WINDY WORDING IN ALONG AND SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 50 CORRIDOR THROUGH THE
NIGHT. OTHERWISE FORECAST LOOKS GOOD AND NO MORE UPDATES PLANNED
WITH MAIN CONCERN BEING WINDS ACROSS CENTRAL NEVADA AGAIN FOR THE

DEPENDING ON TIMING OF FRONTAL PASSAGE ACROSS THE AREA. THOUGH NOT
TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AS VALUES WILL DROP...RELATIVELY SPEAKING...
TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.  FEHRN

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION (156 PM PDT)...
.SHORT TERM...UPPER LOW NEAR 37N 131W CONTINUES TO BRING SOUTHWEST
FLOW OVER CWA THROUGH MONDAY. WINDS SHEARING APART TSTM DEVELOPMENT
WESTERN ZONES. WINDS INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY AGAIN OVER SOUTHERN ZONES
SUNDAY. MIDSHIFT MAY NEED TO ISSUE WIND ADVISORY AS MOS FORECAST NEAR
30 MPH SUSTAINED. WINDS EVEN LOOKS STRONGER MONDAY. CONVERGENT ZONES
PUSHES INTO NORTHERN ELKO AND EASTERN HUMBOLDT COUNTIES OVERNIGHT.
AIRMASS UNSTABLE OVER WESTERN AND NORTHERN PORTION OF CWA FOR RETURN
OF AFTN TSTMS SUNDAY...BUT WINDS WHITE PINE COUNTY TOO DRY UNDER
STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW FOR ANY PCPN OR TSTMS. ALSO H7 WINDS MAY SHEAR
APART TSTM DEVELOPMENT. VORT PUSHES ACROSS NORTH SUNDAY NIGHT
FOLLOWED BY STRONGER PVA MONDAY. BEST POPS WESTERN HALF OF CWA MONDAY
WHERE STRONGER DYNAMICS LOCATED. THEN SYSTEM PUSHES EAST AFTER
MIDNIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA THROUGH TUESDAY. WITH
HIGH PRESSURE AT SURFACE AND ALOFT...AIRMASS DRIER AND STABLE ALONG
WITH WARMING TEMPERATURES. HARMER

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...NOT A LOT OF CHANGE
FROM PREVIOUS THINKING...EXCEPT MODELS NOW A BIT FURTHER NORTH WITH
DYNAMICS IN EXTENDED. SO LOWERED POPS ALONG NRN NV TO JUST BELOW
SLIGHT CHC. NEXT CHC OF PCPN LOOKS LIKE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY IN
WESTERN ZONES AS UPPER LOW OFF COAST FINALLY OPENS AND BEGINS TO
MOVE ONSHORE. THIS COULD SET THE STAGE FOR A WET AND COOL MEMORIAL
WEEKEND. TWEAKED TEMPS A BIT CLOSER TO NEW MEX GUIDANCE...WITH HIGHS
IN THE 60S AND 70S NORTH...AND 70S AND 80S SOUTH AND LOWS IN THE
UPPER 30S TO UPPER 40S. RCS
&&

.AVIATION...THUNDERSTORMS AND RAIN SHOWERS WILL PERSIST INTO THE
EVENING WITH MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS BUT LOCALLY MVFR IN HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION. EXPECT ISOLATED ACTIVITY IN SOUTH AND SCATTERED IN
THE NORTH. SUNDAY LOOKS LIKE REPEAT OF TODAY. RCS
