through mid-week, with near record temperatures in spots this
afternoon. Dry but breezy conditions look to continue the next
several days, with temperatures cooling back down by next weekend.

Thursday, there may be some isolated showers across the area
during the afternoon as a closed low looks to get hung up over
the Sierras. Some moisture will spill over into the Silver State,
however with how dry the surrounding environment is, the chances
of these showers are < 15% so no weather is mentioned in the grids
currently. The most likely situation is that these conditions
will lead to cumulus buildups, possible virga and breezy winds.

80s to mid 90s, and lows in the 50s.
