Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Elko NV
300 PM PDT Sun Oct 30 2016

.SYNOPSIS...Showers and thunderstorms over most of northern Nevada
as well as windy conditions across central Nevada will all
diminish into this evening. Dry and mild early on Monday with
showers moving in from west to east later in the day. Showers
linger over northern Nevada Monday night into Tuesday. Dry
conditions return on Wednesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Tuesday. Widespread showers and
isolated thunderstorms across most of northern and portions of
central Nevada this afternoon will diminish into this evening.
Some showers may be moderate or heavy with reduced visibility.
While CAPE is relatively low...shear values are high to the west
of and along the line from Gabbs up toward Carlin and
Midas with moderate shear east of that line. As such there may be
some moderate to potentially strong thunderstorms late this
afternoon and early evening. Across central Nevada strong
southerly winds will continue into the early evening and diminish
into the late evening and overnight hours.

A brief pause in the rain late this evening into Monday
morning...however by Monday afternoon a second trough will bring
another round of showers to mainly northern Nevada. It is still
likely to be dry in the Elko area early Monday evening...however
before midnight light rain is expected to begin. Showers continue
overnight Monday and through Tuesday afternoon across northern
Nevada.

.LONG TERM...Tuesday night through Sunday. Benign weather
through the first half of the weekend as a ridge of high pressure
sits over the area. However the EC model shows some moisture being
advected northward around a upper level low in western AZ into
east central NV near the UT border on Friday. The GFS however
keeps this upper level low and associated moisture well to the
south across far southern NV. For now kept the forecast dry for
Friday due to model uncertainty. Models do agree that a short
wave will move across northern NV on Sunday, but differ on the
strength, with the GFS bringing precip down into central NV while
the EC keep precip confined to northern NV.

&&

.AVIATION...Widespread rain showers with local mvfr conditions
mainly affecting the keko and kely terminals through 03z. South
winds gusting to 50 mph through 02z impacting the KTPH and KELY
terminals, and up to 40 mph at the KEKO terminal. Isolated
thunderstorms possibly impacting the KEKO terminal through 01z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms late
this afternoon and early evening over northern and portions of
central Nevada will taper off later this evening. Some showers
will be moderate to heavy with wetting rains. The strong
southerly winds across central Nevada will also diminish into this
evening and overnight. Dry tonight into Monday however more rain
is expected over mainly northern Nevada later on Monday on through
Tuesday afternoon.
