What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind advisory 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 wind advisory went out at Sep 8, 2:10 AM PDT, 3 hours 2 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 8, 2:10 AM PDT, 3 hours 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Elko NV
210 AM PDT Tue Sep 8 2020

.SYNOPSIS...Winds will still be gusty today behind a cold front
and cooler air will continue to spill in from the north. This
system will also bring some snow to eastern Nevada this morning.
Temperatures will be generally in the 30s at daybreak then
plummet to freezing or below by Wednesday morning across much of
the area. Oh, and temperatures could be back up to near 90
degrees by the weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Today through Wednesday evening. Hard to say how
clear the skies are because of the haze, smoke, and dust. There is
a lot of windy areas along the trough axis now moving through
Humboldt and Elko Counties. Hazy conditions were pushed a little
further south earlier on Monday but are now converging along the
leading edge of the frontal boundary. Dust began pouring into
Humboldt County late last evening along the trough axis then high
winds occurred at two sites in northern Humboldt County.
Visibility is alreaday below P6SM at KWMC and is intermittently
reduced at KEKO. Model agreement and consistency is good although
the current low pressure system has gained strength.

Today. Low pressure will move southeastward through Utah. The
precipitation field has expanded to lend the possibility of some
snow anywhere east of the Ruby Mountains. Light accumulations
could occur this morning but temperatures will rebound into the
50s. The persistent north wind will make it feel not so 50ish.
Winds will flirt with advisory levels all day. High temperatures
will be in the 50s and 60s.

Tonight through Wednesday. Dry conditions will return. Low
pressure will meander around southeast Utah. A substantial cool-
down is expected as the winds subside under a continuous northerly
flow. A hard freeze is expected across much of eastern Nevada.
Low temperatures will be in the 20s and 30s. High temperatures
will be in the 60s and 70s.

.LONG TERM...Wednesday night through next Monday. Cool north to
northeasterly flow Wednesday night as the upper level low that
brought strong winds and colder temperatures to NV lingers to our
east...over eastern Utah and western Colorado. Most valley
locations across northeastern and east-central NV will see
temperatures late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning in
the mid 20s to mid 30s. Dry on Thursday with highs near normal in
most locations. The upper level low over UT/CO Thursday will eject
to the NE Thursday night into Friday resulting in more warming
over NV as high pressure builds in from the west. Dry with
continued warming through the rest of the week, with highs over
the weekend generally in the upper 80s to low 90s in most valley
locations. The north to northeasterly winds should scour out most
of the smoke across the CWA, with little to no smoke through at
least Friday. As the high pressure builds in this weekend light
westerly winds may begin to spread smoke from CA wildfires into
our region.

&&

AVIATION...Overnight into Tuesday morning windy and much cooler.
MVFR Visibilities initial caused by smoke ahead of, and along the
front, have transitioned to areas of blowing dust/ash in strong
post- frontal north winds downwind of dry lake beds and old large
burn scars (Martin Fire in northwestern Elko County). General VFR
will return across the region through the morning. North to
northeast winds Tuesday afternoon still gusting AOA 30 kts at
KELY and KTPH, while beginning to pull back at KWMC, KBAM, KEKO.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A cold front is passing through NV bringing cooler
conditions and higher RH along with strong gusty winds. There
could be some light accumulatons of snow in the valleys east of
the Ruby Mountains. Winds will less intense today across much of
the area before abating this afternoon and evening. The strongest
winds will be along the trough axis as it exits to the south. Red
Flag Warnings will continue across fire zones 426 and 427 today.
