.SYNOPSIS...MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE ACROSS EASTERN NEVADA
BEGINNING SUNDAY BRINGING THE THREAT OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS TO THESE AREAS THROUGH MIDWEEK.
&&

.SHORT TERM...FLOW ALOFT WILL BECOME MORE SLY NEXT 24 HRS AS UPPER
HIGH CENTERED OVER THE SRN GREAT PLAINS RETROGRADES WWD TOWARDS THE
FOUR CORNERS REGION. THIS WILL ALLOW MOISTURE CURRENTLY OVER AZ TO
ADVECT NWD INTO ERN NV BY SUNDAY AFTN BRINGING THE THREAT OF TSTMS AS
FAR NORTH AS THE SRN PORTIONS OF ELKO COUNTY. ON MONDAY AS MOISTURE
CONTINUES TO MOVE NWD THE THREAT OF TSTMS WILL COVER ALL OF ERN NV TO
THE IDAHO BORDER. BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS NRN AND
CNTRL NEVADA ON SUNDAY AS UPPER LOW OFF THE PAC NW COAST MAINTAINS A
DECENT PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE AREA. WINDS WILL DECREASE ON
MONDAY AS UPPER HIGH BUILDS NWD LESSENING PRESSURE GRADIENTS OVER THE
REGION. CEC

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. MOISTURE ADVECTING IN
FROM THE SOUTH WILL COMBINE WITH WEAK INSTABILITY TUESDAY AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA FOR A SLIGHT
THREAT OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. WEDNESDAY THE MOIST/UNSTABLE AIR
DRIFTS A LITTLE FURTHER TO THE NORTHWEST...WITH THE EASTERN MOST
PORTION OF THE CWA BECOMING EVEN MORE UNSTABLE. HAVE INCREASED POPS
TUESDAY AFTERNOON ALONG THE UTAH BORDER UP TO CHANCE CATEGORY WHILE
AT THE SAME TIME EXPANDING SLIGHT CHANCE OF TS OVER MOST OF THE CWA
EXCEPT HUMBOLDT COUNTY. UPPER LOW THAT WAS NEARLY STATIONARY OFF THE
PAC NW COAST EARLIER IN THE WEEK EJECT EAST THROUGH THE PAC NW
THURSDAY...WITH THE FLOW ALOFT VEERING TO THE SOUTHWEST. THIS ALLOWS
DRIER AIR TO MOVE IN FROM THE WEST...WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE TS
LINGERING OVER EXTREME EASTERN NEVADA FRIDAY. DRY PATTERN EXTENDS
INTO NEXT WEEKEND. ROOD
&&

.AVIATION...DRY SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL BRING GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES

.FIRE WEATHER...WINDS HAVE BEEN GUSTING OVER 30 MPH ACROSS PORTIONS

FIRE WEATHER WATCH OVER TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR ZONES 451 AND

STILL SEE SOME GUSTS TO AROUND 30 MPH AT SOME LOCATIONS BUT DONT
THINK IT WILL BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RED FLAG WARNING.

ALLOW MOISTURE CURRENTLY OVER AZ TO ADVECT NWD INTO ERN NV ON
SUNDAY. SHOULD SEE ISOLATED DRY TSTMS AS FAR NORTH AS THE SRN

STORMS WILL MOSTLY BE DRY. MOISTURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE TUE AND
WED ACROSS ERN NV SO MORE WETTING STORMS ARE EXPECTED. ANOTHER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE PAC NW LATER IN THE WEEK WILL
BRING A DRY SWLY FLOW INTO THE AREA WITH THE THREAT OF TSTMS ENDING
BY FRIDAY ACROSS ALL OF NRN AND CNTRL NV BUT THIS WILL ALSO LEAD TO
