What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this excessive heat 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 excessive heat warning went out at Aug 13, 2:20 AM PDT, 11 hours 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 13, 2:20 AM PDT, 11 hours 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Elko NV
220 AM PDT Fri Aug 13 2021

.SYNOPSIS...Hot temperatures expected to continue through the
weekend with near to record breaking high temps possible. Afternoon
buildups with a few showers and storms possible. Changes in store
for next week as a trough works into the west coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Today through Saturday evening

Strong ridging settles over the Great Basin for the next few
days. Will see more afternoon buildups and a few showers and
possible storms. If isolated storms do form, they could be more
of a mix of wet and dry as PWAT values will likely climb above
0.75" and storm motions will be slow as steering winds under the
ridge are light. Best potential for showers/storms looks to
stretch from NW Nye county up through southern and eastern Elko
county where max PWAT, instability and Theta-E values are
oriented. On Saturday best potential for showers/storms shifts
south and east as max instability and moisture situates over
northern Nye into White Pine county. While the majority of the
thick smoke from wildfires off to our north and west will stay out
of the region, some smoke and haze could seep into northern NV.
Winds will be northerly to terrain-driven 5-15 mph. With H5 596dm
ridge overhead, expect hot temps with highs in the 90s to low
100s. Will likely see large diurnal ranges with cool nighttime
lows, which could limit the Heat Risk potential, although Heat
Advisories could be issued for Humboldt and northern Lander/Eureka
counties.

.LONG TERM...Saturday night through next Thursday

Long term forecast brings on and off afternoon convection, and
temperatures making a downward trend to the 80s and low 90s.

Mid-level moisture makes it into the region on Sunday, and allows
for some convection in south/south-central Nevada as the high
pressure over us starts to erode. A trough over the Pacific
Northwest slowly swings down Monday and Tuesday, bringing a cold
front with it. This cold front sags into the north and
northwestern part of Nevada, and currently looks to become
stationary and stick around the midweek. This keeps winds on the
breezy side of things, but nothing noteworthy.

Monday afternoon sees the best chance for convection across the
whole CWA, but Tuesday onward keeps the probability in eastern and
central Nevada. Most convection should be dry, but we aren’t
ruling wetting showers out just yet. As it stands, the best
chances for any precipitation greater than 0.01” are in
northeastern Nye and southern White Pine counties.

Sunday sees the highest temperatures of the long term with highs
in the 90s and low 100s. As the cold front moves in, we see
temperatures trend cooler over the work week and most of us see
highs in the 80s and low 90s as we reach the second half of the
week. Overnight lows remain comfortable in the 50s and some 60s.

&&

.AVIATION...MVFR conditions expected through the period. Afternoon
cu buildups (sct-bkn AOA 9kft) with high based showers/storms,
possibly impacting the taf sites, esp ELY and EKO. Winds
generally 8-15kts with higher gusts expected. Strong
downdraft/outflow winds are possible near showers and storms. The
smoky conditions have generally ended across the region, but some
hazy skies are still possible, however no vis reductions are
expected at the taf sites.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Hot temperatures with low relative humidity
continues through the weekend. Afternoon buildups and a few
storms expected each afternoon/evening through weekend. If
thunderstorms do develop, they could be more of a mix of wet and
dry as with PWAT values 0.75" or higher and slow storm motions
as steering winds under the ridge are light, but the subcloud
layer will be hot and dry. Gusty downdraft and outflow winds will
be biggest threat from any activity. As we head towards early next
week, a system pushing through the region will bring breezy
winds, which will lead to elevated wind/low RH threat. In
addition, more storms are likely and some could be on the drier
side as storm motions are likely to be faster.

&&

.LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
