Tuesday through Thursday: Upper ridge continues its eastward slide to be over central New Mexico, flow around the upper high will allow for southeasterly to southerly flow aloft over eastern Nevada. This will invite an opportunity for some monsoonal moisture to be advected into the region which will give the possibility for some isolated thunderstorm chances. Initially these chances will be limited to the UT/NV border areas in central NV, but should work northwestward to give areas east of Battle Mountain a chance of showers by Thursday afternoon. Friday, the upper ridge will try to build southwestward cutting of the moisture supply while staying just far enough away to significantly affect temperatures.
