.DISCUSSION...
(This evening through next Monday)

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: The quiet weather pattern continues
today as a ridge of high pressure remains stationed offshore of
the southwestern United States. Northwest flow over the ridge
axis will bring periods of mid and high level clouds thru the
short term, particularly across northern Nevada, but no
precipitation is expected. Latest numerical model output continues
to depict dry weather thru the week as any chances for
precipitation have been curtailed by the latest model runs. Highs
each afternoon will warm to well above normal levels with the
warmest readings occurring during the middle to latter portions of
this week. Highs will generally range in the low 50s to low 60s
with overnight lows mostly in the 20s to low 30s. Record to near
record warmth is forecast across the region. Breezy afternoon
winds are expected today and Wednesday across the northern
portions of Elko and Humboldt counties with wind gusts to 25 mph.
Potential for precipitation returns early next week though
confidence is low due to substantial disagreement between various
numerical models.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: Confidence in the forecast continues
to be high in the short term as an upper level ridge remains the
dominant weather feature. Decreased confidence early next week as
indicated previously.
