WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: An anticyclone aloft near Southern
Nevada will slide southward this afternoon into tonight. A ridge
of high pressure will move eastward across the Silver State
Tuesday, before entering the Mountain West Wednesday. High
temperatures will be well above seasonal values each afternoon
today through Wednesday. Near record warmth is expected in Eureka
this afternoon. The current record for warmest temperature
measured in Eureka on November 10th is 68 degrees, set in 2016.
Temperature records at Eureka date back to 1963.

An Eastern Pacific trough of low pressure will move eastward into
California Wednesday night. The surface pressure gradient will
tighten over Central Nevada Thursday, resulting in strong, gusty
south to southwest winds. A Wind Advisory may be required for
Central Nevada Thursday. Precipitation ahead of the aforementioned
trough of low pressure will overspread the service area Thursday.
Periods of precipitation are likely Thursday night through Friday
afternoon. The majority of this precipitation will fall Thursday
night. Snow levels will start at around 8,000 feet Thursday
morning, before dropping to about 5,500 feet Friday morning. As
the snow level drops, rain will change to snow along passes and
summits on Interstate 80 and Highway 50 Thursday night. Highway
50 between Austin and Eureka should receive the most snow. Three
to five inches of snow is conceivable on Austin Summit and Bob
Scotts Summit. An inch or two of snow is possible along Interstate
80 on Pequop Summit and Emigrant Summit.

Much cooler weather is in store for Northern and Central Nevada
Friday and Saturday. High temperatures throughout Northern and
Central Nevada Friday afternoon will be around fifteen degrees
cooler than Thursday afternoon. Maximum temperatures across
Northern and Central Nevada Saturday afternoon will be around five
degrees below normal for this time of year.

regarding unseasonably warm temperatures today through Wednesday.
