Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Elko NV 344 PM PDT Sun Jun 11 2017 .SYNOPSIS...A storm system will move through the state tonight and Monday bringing strong winds and some significant high-elevation snowfall. After a chilly start Tuesday morning, warm and dry conditions will return for the remainder of the week. && .SHORT TERM...Tonight through Tuesday. The radar is just now filling in good from Elko westward. Got our first strikes over Elko Count about 230pm east of Tuscarora. Temperatures are still mild all over...Elko 70 degrees and Winnemucca 57 degrees. Peak winds across northern Nye and White Pine Counties have been in the 40s with temperatures in the 70s at Tonopah and Ely. There has been a noticeable change in the tracking of central low pressure on the latest model runs which has led to a westward shift of the precipitation core and a timing delay for the snow expected across northern Elko County. This evening. Low pressure will be moving through northern California and into Nevada near Reno. Winds could reach 65 mph in places south of highway 50 as the pressure gradient tightens, which poses a public threat and a fire weather concern as the system gets closer. Midnight tonight through Tuesday morning. The modeled storm track will take the low center near Elko and eject it out past Idaho and into Montana and Wyoming. The model tracking has changed a bit in the past 24 hours and the low center initially will drop along or behind the Sierras. The Winter Weather Advisory has been delayed by 6 hours with a new start time for northern Elko County of 12z or 5am. Otherwise, the models are still showing very good synchronicity with the track. The higher terrain of central Nevada should see several inches of snow which should not pose a problem for this time of year. Otherwise, the foot of the Ruby Mountains and Lamoille could get 6 inches of snow out of this system as it passes, briefly dropping the snow level below 6000 feet. High temperatures will generally only reach the 40s. Low temperatures will generally be in the 30s, which will lead to some frost potential Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon. This will be the start of a dry period. The exiting low will pull out over the Dakotas and leave behind some dry weather with a mild northwesterly flow aloft. High temperatures will rise back into the 50s and 60s. .LONG TERM...Tuesday night through Sunday Dry conditions with lighter winds expected through the long term. Northwest flow Tuesday night will transition into more of a weak zonal flow Wednesday with a fairly flat ridge to our south. Tuesday nights lows will begin to moderate slightly, with temperatures in the middle 30's to the lower 40's, though there may be pockets of below freezing valley temperatures under clearing skies. Temperatures begin getting closer to normal Wednesday in the 70's and then Thursday in the mid 70's to the mid 80's. Lows Wednesday and Thursday nights will be mainly in the 40's. Models are in good agreement that the ridge will begin building northward on Friday and height rises will lead to more extensive warming through next weekend. This will bring highs above normal in the mid 80's to the lower 90's. Overnight lows in the 40's will transition to mainly lows in the 50's over the weekend. && .AVIATION... KWMC: Showers this evening with high confidence that rain will become moderate to heavy at times towards Monday morning with MVFR cigs and vis. West to northwest winds gusting up to 35 mph at times continue through Monday morning. KEKO: Low confidence in thunderstorms near terminal late this afternoon and early evening but higher confidence further north into Northern Elko County. Lower confidence in timing of showers overnight and onslaught of MVFR conditions. Cold front passage with switch to Northwest winds expected around 15Z- 17Z. KELY: High confidence in strong south winds 25-35 mph with some gusts to 60 mph, tapering towards 05Z. Southerly winds increase again in the morning with low confidence of timing to onset of showers. KTPH: High confidence in strong west winds gusting to 40 mph this afternoon and then back to the Northwest around 01Z, with gusts increasing to near 50 mph through 05Z. Northwest winds 20-25 mph gusting to near 35 mph at times continue through Monday morning. && .FIRE WEATHER...The northern NV fire weather zones are expected to get a widespread soaking rain now through at least late Monday. The mountains of Humboldt and Elko Counties will see substantial snow accumulation, with snow levels lowering to around or even briefly below 6000ft. Central NV will see a lesser amount of snow accumulation. Red Flag Warning will be in effect through this evening for zones 455 and 457 for winds and humidity. Winds could gust as high as 65 mph and RH has already touched single digits in spots. Precipitation should exit northern NV by midday Tuesday and the remainder of the week will be dry with a warming trend. && .HYDROLOGY...Temperatures will continue to cool slowing the snowmelt process in the higher elevations. This is slowly reducing flows on the smaller creeks and streams. Valley rain and higher elevation snow tonight through Monday night may result in changes to the flow/depth on areas streams/rivers into next week. Interested persons will want to pay close attention to the forecast this weekend and into next week. Lamoille Creek is below flood stage but continues to run high. The Humboldt River at Battle Mountain remains near minor flood stage and is expected to remain steady for the next couple of days. The lower Humboldt River from Comus downstream through Winnemucca to the Humboldt/Pershing County border continues in minor flood stage and will continue to slowly rise through the week. Wildhorse Reservoir is still flowing over the spillway. There is no threat for flooding at this time downstream along the Owyhee River. && .LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Weather Advisory from 5 AM to 11 PM PDT Monday for Northern Elko County-Ruby Mountains/East Humboldt Range. Wind Advisory until 11 PM PDT this evening for Northwestern Nye County-Southeastern Elko County. High Wind Warning until 11 PM PDT this evening for Northeastern Nye County-White Pine County.
