What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind 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 high wind warning went out at Feb 29, 7:20 PM PST, 6 hours 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 29, 7:20 PM PST, 6 hours 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Elko NV 720 PM PST Thu Feb 29 2024 .SYNOPSIS...Breezy to windy conditions continue over Nevada this evening, with some hazy skies due to blowing dust. Gusty winds and snow over the coming days will create challenging travel conditions at times, with blowing and drifting of snow expected Saturday into Sunday. && .UPDATE...Strong winds across northern NV produced blowing dust in the afternoon and early evening hours. Winds are weakening at this time which is resulting in less blowing dust, and increasing visibilities to impacted areas. Hazy conditions are expected to continue well into the evening hours, however visibilities below one mile are no longer expected.
