Area forecast discussion, Aug 6, 2:07 PM PDT, 1 hour 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Elko NV 207 PM PDT Sat Aug 6 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A brief break in the moisture is bringing drier conditions from west to east today. Tonight will see foggy conditions before dry and fair weather for Sunday and Monday. Another subtropical moisture push and associated rain showers and thunderstorms return to the silver state by Tuesday. && .SHORT TERM...Today through Monday. Monsoonal moisture is leaving the silver state drawing down the showers and thunderstorms which will cease by tonight. Substantial rainfall has occurred which coupled with stable conditions tonight will lead to fog formation. While this lingering moisture will still cause some clouds for Sunday no further rainfall is expected. The lack of rainfall is due to the monsoon moisture feed shifting to the east cutting off the silver state for at least a brief time. Fair and drier weather are expected for both Sunday and Monday. Temperatures will be warming for both days with highs in the 80s and 90s. .LONG TERM...Monday evening to next Saturday Dry conditions will continue into Tuesday. A return to showers and thunderstorms is expected Tuesday afternoon for central Nevada as high pressure brings moisture from the Gulf of California northward. The greatest chance for precipitation would be in northern Nye and southern parts of Lander, Humboldt and Eureka counties. As the week progresses, showers and thunderstorm chances will increase into Elko, White Pine and the rest of Lander and Eureka counties as high pressure over the Central Plains continues to provide the chance for thunderstorms and rain into next weekend. Storm movements continue to trend slow which could result in flood possibilities. A low pressure system off the Pacific coast could bring a trof over western and central Humboldt county late in the week. This would keep those areas drier and limit their chances of precipitation late next week into the weekend. High temperatures will range from the mid-80 to the lower 90s with lows in the 50s/60s. && .AVIATION...Rain showers are decreasing across the area and cloud heights are rising today. VFR conditions are expected at all TAF sites from late this evening through 00Z tomorrow. && .FIRE WEATHER...Isolated thunderstorms continue into the evening for Elko county then dry conditions will prevail. Sunday and Monday will see dry and fair weather for all zones. RH will be high for all zones except for 437. Zone 437 will be the driest zone with min RH falling into the teens. However RH recoveries overnight will remain high. && .LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && 99/89/89/99
