1148 PM PDT Tue Jul 7 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

* Isolated mix of wet and dry thunderstorms are expected to slowly
  diminish in coverage from west to east across Northern and
  Central Nevada each afternoon and evening through this evening

* Temperatures will remain above seasonal values this week

* Moderate risk for heat-related illnesses each afternoon from Friday
  through Sunday as highs soar into the upper 90s to low 100s

&&

.DISCUSSION...
(Tonight through next Tuesday)

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW:

For today, models are showing a drier air mass continuing its
eastward push into the region. Precipitable water values will drop
to a half- inch or less with the highest values across portions
of Elko and WHite Pine counties, east to the border with Utah
(greater than a half inch). Consequently, the highest chances for
isolated showers and wet/dry thunderstorms will again be in
northeastern Elko county. Highs will be in the 90s with overnight
lows in the 50s and 60s.

Thursday through the weekend. All models are showing the upper
ridge retrograding to the west on Thursday before moving back east
and building during the early weekend period. Not much in the way
of precipitation is expected during this time frame but
temperatures will be warming in response to building heights. On
Thursday, highs will be in the low to mid 90s, but warming to the
mid 90s to low 100s on Friday, with a few degrees of additional
warming on Saturday. This is leading to minor to moderate HeatRisk
impacts across northern and central Nevada with the increasing
probability of heat headlines needed of portions of the area
through the weekend, including Sunday. Though Sunday could see a
degree or two of cooling, the main heat impacts remain. Overnight
lows will be in the 50s and 60s. Afternoon breezes to 20 mph will
be possible over the area.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: The PoP, weather, sky and wind
grids were adjusted for the short term forecast due to fire
weather concerns. Low to moderate confidence exists for PoP
coverage today. Moderate to high confidence on upper ridge build
late in the week, with high confidence on HeatRisk for Friday and
the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...

Expect storms on Wednesday across mainly northeast Nevada with
KEKO and KENV terminals with VCTS. VFR conditions will persist at
all other locations. Winds will be light with gusts to 22KT
possible

AMD NOT SKED continues for KEKO due to communications issue.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Coverage of thunderstorm activity is expected to diminish
this afternoon with wet/dry thunderstorms mainly over portions of
Elko county. By Thursday and Friday, afternoon temperatures will
begin to soar into the triple digits by the weekend bringing
moderate HeatRisk to the area.
