  in Lincoln County, with the first freeze of the season expected.

  normals.

.DISCUSSION...through early next week.

The cold area of low pressure will exit Lincoln County to the east
and into Utah early this evening taking with it any lingering shower
activity. With skies clearing out and winds diminishing tonight will
be the coldest night of the period for most locations and
particularly in Lincoln County where the first freeze of the year is
expected tonight at locations such as Caliente, Pioche and Rachel.

Northerly winds will be the rule on Thursday behind the low and a
secondary much weaker weather system will push through the area
Thursday night enhancing the north winds down the Colorado River
Valley for Friday. Otherwise, temperatures will be trending higher
into the weekend but remain below their seasonal normals through at
least Friday. Another weak system on Sunday night into Monday may
enhance winds and lower temperatures a few degrees but conditions
should remain dry through the period.
