Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Elko NV
243 PM PST Sun Feb 2 2020

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front passes over the region late this
afternoon through this evening bringing snow and gusty winds to
most locations. Showers greatly diminish late this evening and
overnight, however gusty northerly winds continue through Monday
afternoon. Much colder Monday with high temperatures in the 20s to
low 30s. Lows Monday night drop into the single digits.

&&

.SHORT TERM...This evening through Wednesday. A strong cold front
over Humboldt County early this afternoon will move south and east
across northern and central NV through this evening. Most valley
locations can expect between 1 and 2 inches of snow along and
shortly after the frontal passage, with slightly higher amounts in
the mountains. These snow amounts are slightly less than
yesterdays guidance suggested. Winter Weather Advisories remain in
effect for most of the region today, with snow showers ending
across most of northern NV by the mid-evening hours, and over most
of central NV by around midnight tonight. A few light snow
showers are possible over and near mountains of Elko and White
Pine Counties into Monday.

Gusty winds will also accompany todays frontal passage. Across
mainly central NV, southwesterly winds will be breezy ahead of the
front. Winds will become northwesterly along and behind the cold
front. While strongest gusts are expected at the time of the
passing front, breezy conditions will persist in many locations
behind the frontal passage well into Monday. Strongest winds will
be over northwestern Nye County, including the Tonopah area where
the recent High Wind Watch has been upgraded to a High Wind
Warning.

Additionally, mountains and locations just to the south and east
of higher terrain can expect gusty downslope winds which will
reach Wind Advisory levels, and may locally reach high wind
warning criteria. Prone areas to downslope winds include Ruby and
Clover Valleys just to the east of the Ruby Mountains in Elko
County. The West Wendover area is also expected to have gusty
northwesterly winds channeling through the area. Wind Advisories
remain in effect for most of central NV through Monday afternoon.

Monday will be considerably colder, with high temperatures in most
locations remaining below freezing. Lows Monday night will be in
the single digits for most valley areas, with some higher
elevation valley locations such as Wildhorse expected to see low
temperatures fall into the negative single digit range.

Temperatures will gradually moderate higher Tuesday and Wednesday,
however most locations will remain below normal through mid week.

Most of the CWA will be dry Monday night through Tuesday night
with the cool and relatively dry northerly flow continuing. On
Wednesday light snow showers may clip northern Elko County,
otherwise dry for the remainder of the CWA through Wednesday
afternoon.

.LONG TERM...Wednesday night to next Sunday. All models are
showing an upper level ridge slowly building across northern and
central Nevada Wednesday night and Thursday. A disturbance in the
northwest flow will be moving through the region, which could
bring light snow showers to portions of northeast Elko county.
Amounts appear on the light side with less than an inch in the
valleys forecast at this time. Some breezy to windy conditions are
possible in northeast Nevada as well, with speeds of 15 to 25 mph
and gusts to 35 mph possible for Thursday. Highs will be in the
mid 40s to around 50 degrees. Some overnight clouds are possible
in northeast Elko county, otherwise many areas will see mainly
clear conditions. Overnight lows will be in the 20s and 30s.

Friday and Friday night. There could be a flattening of the ridge
for Friday, which will change the direction of the upper flow.
Have decided to take a blended approach, thus not warming
afternoon highs too much. There could again be some afternoon
showers in northeast Elko county but have kept pops below 30
percent and amounts will remain light. Breezy afternoon conditions
will continue but will probably not make advisory criteria. Highs
on Friday will generally be in the upper 40s to low 50s for many
valley locations. Some clouds are possible during the overnight
but any showers will remain confined to northeast Nevada.
The lows will be in the 20s and 30s.

Saturday through Sunday. An area of low pressure is looking
possible for the upcoming weekend. Again a blended solution was
taken due to minor differences in the various fields. Pops are in
the isolated to scattered category for now. A frontal passage is
also possible for Sunday, which will drop afternoon highs again,
mainly in the 40s. However, Saturday looks okay temperature-wise
with readings in the 40s and 50s. Winds will be breezy on
Saturday, but come up for Sunday. It's too early for any wind
headlines so this will need to be watched. Overnight lows will be
in the 20s for Saturday night into Sunday.

&&

.AVIATION...A strong cold front will continue to make its way
through the forecast area this evening. This will result in SN
and BLSN at or near most terminals along and behind the front.
Very strong winds continue to be expected at KTPH (at least wind
gusts of 50 knots) tonight in the wake of the front at which time
blowing dust and/or snow is likely to reduce visibilities.
IFR/LIFR conditions will be possible with the frontal passage,
with conditions improving slightly after the frontal passage,
though BLSN could keep VSBY low.

&&

Winter Weather Advisory until 10 PM PST this evening for
Humboldt County-Northern Elko County-Northern Lander County and
Northern Eureka County-Southwestern Elko County.
