&&

Nevada. Chances of rain/snow at 30-70% is expected overnight into
Friday, starting in Humboldt county at 50-70%, shifting east
towards northern Elko County, then the chances are expected to
propagate uniformly between 40-60% across all of northern Nevada
and into norther Eureka and Lander Counties.

Saturday, the upper level trough that is bringing the winter
weather will settle over the state, bringing in chances for heavy
snow and gusty winds. Chances for rain/snow is expected to reach
up to 70-90% across central and northern Nevada in the first half
of Saturday and slowly diminish down to 50-60% by the evening
hours. Snow levels throughout Saturday are expected to drop below
4000 feet, down to 3000 feet in the afternoon, however there is
potential for rain/wet snow as high temperatures are expected to
reach above freezing in the 40s. Overnight lows expected to drop
into the teens to 20s making all precipitation fall as snow.
Snowfall is likely to range 1-3 inches in the valleys and 3-5
inches at higher elevations and passes across Humboldt County and
Northern Nye County. Lander and Eureka counties could see between
3-6 inches for valleys and 5-10 inches at higher elevations and
passes. Elko County and White Pine County likely to see between
3-7 inches of snow for valley areas and 7-11 inches at higher

mph with gusts as high as 45 mph for central and northern Nevada
with the exception of Northern Nye and White Pine Counties, which

as 50-70 mph.

Sunday will see more winter weather but the upper level trough
begins to head eastward, making the weather a little less milder.
Westerly winds still expected to be breezy but in the ranges of
15-20 mph with higher elevations reaching as high as 35 mph. Gusts
expected to reach between 20-30 mph in lower elevations and 35-40
mph at higher elevations. Chances for precipitation expected to be
between 30-60% in the morning hours and dissipate quickly to below
20% across the region during the day with some lingering showers.
Temperatures expected to be much cooler from the passing cold
front with highs only in the 20s to 30s and lows potentially
reaching single digits to teens.

Monday and Tuesday expected to have a break from the active
weather as a slight ridge builds up behind the trough. Winds
expected to be light with temperatures still cold as highs
expected to remain in the 20s to 30s Monday, but gradually warm
back into the 30s to 40s Tuesday. Lows Monday still expected to be
in the single digits to teens, but reach into the teens to 20s by
Tuesday.

Wednesday and Thursday, models are showing another upper level
trough moving south over the southwestern U.S. bringing in
another round of breezy winds, precipitation, and cooler
temperatures. High temperatures expected to reach in the 30s to
40s (50s for N. Nye County) Wednesday, however, the passing front
will make highs back down into the 30s to 40s Thursday. Lows both
days expected to be in the teens to 20s. Chances of precipitation
returns to the region with a 20-35% chance across the region,
however the values for these days could change as there is low
confidence on the location of the low pressure system.
