.DISCUSSION...
(This afternoon through next Tuesday)

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Current conditions across much of the
area today are mainly quiet with skies mostly sunny. There is
some moisture moving in across the northeast part of the forecast
area and is dropping little in the way of precipitation.
Temperatures right now are in the 50s and some low 60s.
For tonight, an upper level ridge will continue affecting the area
as it sits across the southwestern United States. The weather will
be mostly clear with mid and high-level clouds overhead. Lows will
be in the 20s and 30s.

On Wednesday through the weekend, all models are showing the upper
ridge maintaining a grip over the southwestern United States. What
this will mean is continued quiet weather conditions over northern
and central Nevada. High temperatures will be at or above record
territory for many locations with readings in the 50s to low 60s.
Winds will be light. Overnight lows will be in the 20s and 30s.

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
above normal levels.


FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: Forecast confidence remains
high in the short term as an upper level ridge remains the
dominant weather feature.
