Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Elko NV
216 PM PDT Sat Aug 11 2018

.SYNOPSIS...Moisture slowly increases during the next two days
across central and eastern Nevada. This brings isolated
thunderstorms to the region, except northwest Nevada where dry
weather prevails. Smoke and haze persists across the region.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Monday.

HRRR Smoke product indicates that the haze is not going anywhere
soon, especially with a westerly component that brings smoke from
the California wildfires. A weak trough shears northeast over the
Pacific northwest this afternoon and tonight. The trailing edge of
the trough boosts gradient flow over northwest Nevada for gusty
winds late in the day and continuing this evening. Shallow cool
front pushes into northwest NV overnight and becomes stationary
between the northern border and I80.

While the northern portion of the warm high dome gets flatten by
shearing trough, the southern portion remains firm over southern
Utah and Arizona. Monsoonal moisture streams northward over
central and eastern NV during the next two days. Isolated
diurnally driven thunderstorms will develop across this area,
with higher coverage over the higher terrain (from the Toiyabes
east to the Snake range). Southwest flow prevails over northwest
NV, keeping that portion of the state dry.

With the high warm dome no longer overhead, daytime temperatures
will not be as hot, but remain above the seasonal norms.

.LONG TERM...Monday night through next Saturday.

Models are in generally good agreement through the extended
period. Upper high center will weaken this weekend while splitting
to the northeast and retreating southward which will cause
daytime temperatures to cool down to between 85 and 95 degrees for
the first half of next week. Although main trough energy will
pass north of region, modest monsoonal moisture over the east half
of the state will allow for isolated to perhaps scattered pockets
of dry and wetter storms to occur on Tuesday and Wednesday
afternoon/evenings across portions of northeast and central
Nevada. A mid-level shortwave lifting northeastward across
California could also trigger isolated storms farther west and
north on Wednesday before shifting eastward on Thursday. Upper
high is forecast to briefly rebuild over California into Nevada on
Friday and next Saturday which should allow for dry, storm-free
weather to return to the state with afternoon temperatures warming
back up into the mid 90s to near 100.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR but hazy conditions are expected through Sunday
evening for KWMC KBAM KEKO KELY and KTPH with the possibility of
MVFR visibilities primarily around and west-southwest of KWMC on
Sunday as thicker smoke plumes from California wildfires impact
western Nevada. Isolated thunderstorms have developed in the
vicinity of KELY this afternoon with a better chance on Sunday as
weak push of monsoonal moisture continues to slowly creep
northward.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Evening gusty winds to 35 mph across zone 467 will exist through
much of the evening. Gusty winds will gradually diminish
overnight. As cold front pushes into northwest Nevada overnight,
humidity values will increase.

Moisture gradually increases during the next two days bringing the
threat of thunderstorms to central and eastern Nevada. Initially,
isolated dry thunderstorms are expected but gradually become wet
toward mid week.

Sunday, the highest dry lightning threat will be across zone 454,
455, 457, and 470, but areal coverage will be isolated.

Monday, the dry lightning threat includes 454, 469 and 470 but
some storms will be wet. For zone 454 and 455, storms are likely
to be wet as precipitable water continues to rise above 0.75
inches.

Tuesday and Wednesday, higher confidence that most thunderstorms
will be generating wetting rains.

&&

.LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
Red Flag Warning until 11 PM PDT this evening for Central and
Western Humboldt County.
