WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Skies remain mostly sunny this afternoon
with temperatures well above normal. This pattern will continue
into the mid-week period. Highs will be in the 60s and 70s Monday
and Tuesday with lows in the 20s and 30s.

The ridge axis is forecast to shift east on Wednesday. An upper
low pressure system will move into the Pacific Northwest and
western United States. Breezy to locally windy conditions will
develop Wednesday with southwest winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts
to 40 mph are expected. Temperatures will cool slightly but will
remain in the 60s for the most part. Chances for precipitation
will increase with most locales seeing light rain showers (fifteen
to sixty percent chance) with the highest chances for seeing
measurable rainfall in the north. General forecast amounts of
rainfall are expected to be a trace to a tenth of an inch in the
valleys with northern Elko and northern Humboldt counties seeing
the highest amounts. Look for light, isolated showers during the
overnight with lows in the 30s.

A mainly west to east flow will develop Thursday. Cooler air
will filter in with high temperatures reaching the 50s. Mainly
isolated showers are expected in the north with little to no
accumulation. Winds will continue to be breezy in the afternoon in
the north with gusts to 25 mph. The threat for light, isolated
showers will continue across the north with lows in the 20s and
30s.

Models are showing upper level ridging across the forecast area
for Friday through the weekend. This will bring dry conditions and
highs in the 60s with lows in the 20s and 30s.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: High confidence continues in a
dry and fair weather forecast through the next few days. Increasing
confidence of more active weather beginning in the mid-week. No
