NORMAL TEMPERATURES. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA
TONIGHT AND TUESDAY BRINGING MUCH COLDER AIR ALONG WITH RAIN TURNING
TO SNOW. &&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. MAINLY CLEAR SKIES THIS MORNING
OVER CENTRAL NEVADA AS RIDGING EXPANDS OVER THE GREAT BASIN. IR
IMAGERY SHOWS SOME DIRT MOVING THROUGH THE RIDGE CREST AS THE
RIDGE ROLLS OVER IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER SHORT WAVE SPINNING OFF
THE UPPER LOW CENTERED IN THE VICINITY OF THE ALUETIAN ISLANDS.
THIS WILL BE THE PRIMARY WEATHER FACTOR IN THE SHORT TERM. MODELS
CONTINUE TO EXCELL IN THE SHORT TERM AS FAR AS AGREEMENT.

CLOUDS ARE INCREASING ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA ATTM. SHORT WAVE

MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE MAIN FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL OCCUR
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND BE INTO CENTRAL NEVADA BY DAYBREAK. A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS MAY BREAK OUT TONIGHT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT NEAR
HIGHWAY 50 IN CENTRAL NEVADA. FRONT MAY STALL A BIT WHEN IT PASSES
THROUGH CENTRAL NEVADA...COMPLETELY EXITING TUESDAY AFTERNOON. ATTM
APPEARS COLD AIR WILL BE PUNCHING THROUGH WITH THE COLD FRONT SO
RAIN SHOULD TURN TO SNOW VERY QUICKLY OVER NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY
TONIGHT. GFS/NAM/ECMWF MODELS ARE SHOWING ENOUGH QPF TO INDICATE 3-5
INCHES OF SNOW OVER NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY...ZONE 31...BY TUESDAY
MORNING. LESSER AMOUNTS ARE PROBABLE ELSEWHERE ACROSS ELKO COUNTY AS

MODELS HAVE COME INTO GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE END OF THE LONG TERM
PERIOD...SHOWING THE FLOW ALOFT BACKING TO THE NW AND WEST BY FRIDAY

ACROSS CENTRAL NV.
&&
