.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY. WARMER AIR MOVING INTO CWA
THIS MORNING ALONG WITH MORE CLOUDS MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. WINDS
TODAY WILL NOT BE WELL COUPLED THROUGH H70 SO DO NOT EXPECT A
STRONG MIXING DAY...ESPECIALLY NORTH WHERE CLOUDS WILL ALSO KEEP
TEMPERATURES DOWN A BIT. NOT A LOT OF UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS TODAY...

FRONT WILL START MOVING THROUGH FRI EVENING AND CONTINUE ITS TREK
ACROSS CWA SAT. MAJORITY OF PRECIP WILL BE NORTH OF HWY 50 WITH SNOW
FALLING TO VALLEY FLOORS. GFS IS A LITTLE SLOWER WITH TIMING OF

FORECASTING HIGHS DURING THE DAY SAT SOUTH. GIVEN THE STRONG JET ON
THE BACK SIDE OF TROUGH AND STRONG PUSH OF COLD AIR...WILL GO WITH
A FASTER SOLUTION THAN THE GFS FOR FRONT TIMING AND KEEP HIGH
TEMPERATURES OVER SOUTHERN ZONES ABOUT 5-10 DEGREES BELOW MAV

A LOT OF SNOW ANYWHERE BUT A COUPLE OF INCHES IS POSSIBLE WITH 3-5

MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW SHOWERS WITH SOME EMBEDDED THUNDER OVER NERN

EXIT THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT WITH SNOW SHOWERS LINGERING OVER THE
MOUNTAINS OF EASTERN NV. A COOL NORTHERLY FLOW IN THE WAKE OF THE

HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE 50S. THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT TO START NEXT WEEK...SHOWING A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE GREAT BASIN WITH H5 HEIGHTS ON THE ORDER
OF 590-594DM. THIS TYPE OF PATTERN SHOULD PUSH DAYTIME TEMPS BACK
