Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Elko Nevada 
250 PM PDT Sat may 18 2013 


Synopsis...a weak system will move into northern Nevada this 
evening and pushing into central Nevada Sunday morning bringing 
showers and isolated thunderstorms to the area. High pressure 
builds late Sunday and continues through Wednesday for drier and 
warmer conditions. 


&& 


Short term...tonight through Monday. Next upstream system digs 
into northern and east central Nevada overnight. With diffluence aloft 
will keep mention of evening thunderstorms in forecast along with 
rain showers continuing through 18z Sunday. Showers and isolated 
thunderstorms will linger in east central Nevada through about 02z 
Monday until when the upper low pushes into Utah. Expect most 
valleys in northern and east central Nevada to dip into the upper 20s 
to lower 30s Monday morning as ridge builds into the County Warning Area bringing 
in a drier northwest flow aloft. With mostly sunny skies...expect 
good daytime temperature recovery with daytime maximum temperatures 
rebounding into the middle 60s to lower 70s Monday. 


Long term...Monday night through Saturday. The long term commences 
with a strong short wave ridge across northern and central Nevada. 
Dry and warm weather will be the sensible weather conditions with 700 mb 
temperatures around plus 10 degree c Tuesday afternoon. This relates to 
highs well into the 70s to lower 80s...around 10 degrees above 
normal. 


For the remainder of the long term period...the County Warning Area will become 
under the influence of a strong upper level trough with the long 
range models keep nearly stationary over Washington/Oregon into next 
weekend. The models are in pretty close agreement bringing a strong 
cold front across the region during Wednesday. The timing of the 
cold front is quicker on the European model (ecmwf) solution than the GFS solution. A 
cooling trend can be expected after Wednesday on...however little 
moisture is available under this system. All in all...held 
temperatures/probability of precipitation pretty close to previous forecast. 


&& 


Aviation...expect gusty winds to diminish along with cumulus/SC melting 
away with loss of heating this evening. Isolated thunder remains 
possible into this eveningotherwise...mid/high clouds can be expected 
later tonight into Sunday. VFR conditions for the next 24 hours. 


&& 


Fire weather...isolated thunderstorms expected mainly across 
northern and eastern Nevada this evening through Sunday 
afternoon/evening. Some wetting rains expected so little if any 
concern. Rh's recoveries will remain good through next week. 
High pressure builds late Sunday and continues through Wednesday 
for drier and warmer conditions. 


&& 


Lkn watches/warnings/advisories...none.
