Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Elko NV 109 AM PDT Sun Jun 12 2022 .SYNOPSIS...There will be widespread strong winds today. Showers, thunderstorms, and cooler temperatures are expected in Northern Nevada while Central Nevada remains dry and warm. Look for cooler weather starting tonight behind a front with brisk northwest winds on Monday. Frost is possible on Monday and Tuesday nights. && .SHORT TERM...Today through Monday A trof will bring to move through Nevada today. This will bring showers and thunderstorms to mainly around I80 and north, though some isolated to scattered showers are possible anywhere north of Hwy 50. Better probabilities for measurable rainfall will be in Humboldt and northern Elko Counties. Strong winds will also be widespread, and Wind Advisories remain in effect as 25 to 35 mph winds gusts up to 55 mph. Some isolated higher gusts are possible in northern Nevada, and SE Elko County, including Wendover, may need to be upgraded to a High Wind Warning later today. Areas of blowing dust can also be expected today. Much drier air will be present in central Nevada, which will create critical Fire Weather conditions. Please see the Fire Weather discussion below for more details. A cooling trend will begin today, with a tight temperature gradient ahead of a cold front which will start to move into northwest NV in the evening. High temperatures will range from the 70's and 80's in northern Nevada to the mid 80's to mid 90's in central Nevada. The cold front will move across the remainder of the state tonight and there will be some lingering isolated showers or maybe even a thunderstorm, mainly in Elko County. Winds will decrease and allow lows to drop into the upper 30's to mid 40's in northern Nevada and the mid 40's to mid 50's in central Nevada counties. The system will have moved east on Monday, though a few wrap around showers are possible in very eastern Nevada. Otherwise, it will be a much cooler and brisk day behind the cold front and highs will only reach into the mid 50's to mid 60's in northern Nevada and the mid 60's through the 70's in central Nevada. Northwest winds will gust to around 35 mph, though could be a bit stronger in places like Tonopah, where a wind advisory may be needed. .LONG TERM...Monday night through next Saturday. Upper level low pressure system will continue to affect portions of northern Nevada late Monday into Tuesday. This will result in isolated showers in the Jarbidge wilderness with light accumulations. Overnight lows Monday are expected to drop into the 30s at many valley locations and a frost advisory is possible Tuesday morning. One last impulse will dive south into the Intermountain West on Tuesday though not much will come of it across northeastern Nevada. Skies will be mostly sunny with highs in the 60s and 70s. Winds will be breezy out of the northwest at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 to 35 mph. It is expected to be another cool night with temperatures in the 30s, which may necessitate another frost advisory. Wednesday through Friday, upper level ridge will build across the central United States, bringing rising heights and temperatures to northern and central Nevada through the period. Highs will be in the 80s on Wednesday, rising into the 80s and 90s on Thursday and Friday. Breezy conditions are possible for Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, but much stronger winds for central Nevada on Friday. A weak storm system may be possible for Saturday with showers and thunderstorms possible. Highs are anticipated to cool into the 80s. && .AVIATION...VFR conditions are expected for the majority of the forecast period. Strong southwest winds will develop out ahead of an approaching cold front with gusts to 30-40 knots during the afternoon. With the strong winds, BLDU remains a possibility with local reductions to VSBY to 4SM, mainly at the northern TAF sites KWMC-KBAM-KEKO. VCTS is also possible across the aforementioned northern sites through the afternoon. && .FIRE WEATHER...Widespread strong westerly winds are expected today as a system moves into Nevada. Showers and isolated to scattered mainly wet thunderstorms in northern Nevada will keep RH at high enough levels to prevent Fire Weather concerns from the strong winds, as PW's are expected to be .75 to .90 inches or so. However, central Nevada will remain dry, and coupled with the winds, will create critical Fire Weather conditions. FW Zone 426 is the only zone where fuels are cured and therefore a Red Flag Warning remains in effect for this zone for today. On Monday, northwest winds will be gusty. Northern Nevada RH remains elevated, though a Red Flag Warning could be necessary once again in FW Zone 426, as RH in the single digits is coupled with the gusty northwest winds in central Nevada. && .LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Advisory from 11 AM this morning to 8 PM PDT this evening for Humboldt County-Northeastern Nye County-Northern Elko County- Northern Lander County and Northern Eureka County-Northwestern Nye County-Ruby Mountains and East Humboldt Range-South Central Elko County-Southeastern Elko County-Southern Lander County and Southern Eureka County-Southwest Elko County-White Pine County. Red Flag Warning from 11 AM this morning to 8 PM PDT this evening for Northern Nye County-Mojave. && 90/86/86/90
