(This afternoon through next Tuesday) WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Weather across the area today will be quiet under mostly sunny and clear skies as an upper level ridge continues to affect the area as it resides across the southwestern United States. Daytime high temperatures will be in the low 50s to low 60s with potential for daily high temperature records to be tied or broken. Overnight lows will be in the 20s to mid 30s. Thru this weekend, all numerical models are showing the upper ridge maintaining a grip over the southwestern United States. What this will mean is continued quiet weather over northern and central Nevada. High temperatures will be at or above record territory for many locations with readings continuing to be in the low 50s to low 60s. Winds will be light. Overnight lows will be mostly in the 20s to low 30s, though the typical colder valleys can expect observations in the mid to upper teens. By Monday and Tuesday, there are hints the ridge will break down over the region with the possibility of showers mainly over the northern sections of the forecast area. Chances for precipitation are generally twenty to forty percent with amounts of around a tenth of an inch or less. Temperatures will continue to remain warmer than normal.
