What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Elko, NV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Feb 28, 2:46 AM PST, 11 hours 48 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 28, 2:46 AM PST, 11 hours 48 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Elko NV
246 AM PST Wed Feb 28 2018

.SYNOPSIS...A break in the weather is expected through Wednesday
afternoon before the next storm system is forecast to impact the
region. This system will be a prolonged and cold event with
widespread accumulating snowfall from Thursday through Saturday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Today through Saturday.

Overall pattern: persistent long wave trough over the west
coast...stable Greenland high...generally fixed relatively flat central
US ridge. Lots of short waves moving into west coast with ample
maritime polar moisture and temps.

Great Basin will be buffeted by a short wave closing off into a
major low pressure center dropping south along the coast of Oregon
and then moving northeast into southern Alberta. It is associated
with another closed low over Northwest Territories which is
causing it to rotate in more-or-less tandem fashion. This southern
low has significant trough extending south from and rotating
around it. These troughs will dominate the short term forecast.
Actually, this short term forecast duration was selected because
it contains the most active of the storms passing through
essentially the middle forecast term.

Bottom line is a long duration event starting in northwest Nevada
tonight, progressing over northern, then central and eastern
Nevada through Saturday. Cold air and moisture sufficient for tons
of snow. Valleys will vary wildly with anywhere from 1-8 inches
increasing from northwest to southeast in severity. Mountains also
will range from around 6 inches in drier northwest Nevada to over
a foot and half storm totals in the higher mountains of northern
and eastern Nevada.

Travel will be a problem.

.LONG TERM...Saturday night through Wednesday.
Snow tappers off Sunday morning with large cold upper trough
lifting out of Nevada during the afternoon and evening hours.
Seasonably cold and drier weather follows for early next week.
Anticipate low temperatures will likely bottom out in the single
digits above and below zero in many areas Sunday night into Monday
morning given fresh snow cover, clearer skies, and light winds.

Progressive upper ridge moves through the Great Basin on Tuesday
followed by milder southerly flow ahead of a Pacific frontal
system that may not make much headway into Nevada on Wednesday,
but provide a chance of some light snow showers or flurries in
the far north and west. As a result, temperatures should warm back
up closer to normal by the middle of next week with daytime highs
rising into the lower to mid 40s.

&&

.AVIATION...Some stubborn low stratus will linger around KELY
early this morning, otherwise VFR conditions will prevail at
KWMC, KEKO, and KTPH with a gradual increase in high and then mid-
level clouds across the state today. Ceilings will lower in the
north tonight with some snow showers moving into the vicinity of
KWMC between 06Z - 12Z Thursday, and around/after 12Z Thursday
morning at KEKO.

A series of Pacific weather systems will cause more adverse
winter weather with periods of MVFR and IFR conditions across
much of the region starting Thursday and lingering into Sunday
morning.
