Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Elko NV 143 PM PST Mon Feb 24 2025 .SYNOPSIS...A few light showers across portions of the region tonight and tomorrow as a cold front moves thru Nevada, though breezes will be the main weather impact. Otherwise weather becomes fair and much warmer than average Tuesday night thru Saturday with guidance indicating precipitaton returning in the Saturday night to Sunday time frame. && .SHORT TERM...Tonight through Tuesday Night Light showers over the high terrain of White Pine County dissipate thru this evening as upper energy that ejected from a deep upper low offshore of the PacNW moves east and out of the forecast region. Otherwise a deep and well occluded synoptic low pressure system associated with the upper low resides along the coast of Washington State this evening with a broad cold front draped south thru NorCal. Southwesterly surface winds remain elevated tonight as the cold front progresses thru Nevada tonight and tomorrow morning with the strongest gusts of 20 to 30+ mph situated across northern Nevada. Forcing will be modest along the southern reaches of the front due to the weak nature of the front itself and a dry frontal passage thru most of the forecast area is expected. Better frontal forcing expected further north with a few light snow showers expected late tonight early Tuesday morning across northern Elko County, in and near the Jarbidge Wilderness and Independence Range. No significant accumulation is expected. Surface winds become northwesterly Tuesday morning post frontal with gusts 20 to 30 mph across the forecast region during the day as skies also clear from northwest to southeast. Fair weather Tuesday night under mostly clear skies. Overnight low temperatures tonight will be in the mid 20s to mid 30s. Daytime highs Tuesday will range from the low 40s across far northern Nevada to the low 60s for portions of N. Nye County as the cooler post frontal air mass mainly affects northern Nevada. Overnight low temperatures Tuesday night will be in the mid teens to mid 20s. && .LONG TERM...Wednesday through next Monday Warm and dry to finish the week as an upper ridge resides over the western U.S. Daytime high temperatures will climb all the way to the low 60s across the majority of the area by Friday and Saturday. Models show the next system pushing into our area starting Saturday, but there’s currently still some disagreement meaning exact details are likely to change some. What is clear is this system will noticeably drop our temperatures, with highs in the 50s on Sunday and generally only reaching the 40s for Monday. Winds will also increase, with afternoon sustained winds reaching 15-20 mph both days. This system also looks to bring widespread precipitation chances, with mostly valley rain on Sunday transitioning to snow overnight and back to rain during the day Monday. && .AVIATION...VFR conditions expected at all terminals through the next 24 hours. Gusty winds anticipated at KWMC/KBAM/KEKO/KELY. VCSH at KELY from 00Z to 09Z, and any showers directly overhead could cause short lived decreased ceilings and visibilities. && .LKN Watches/Warnings/Advisories... None. && 92/94/94
