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

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: A few high level clouds are currently
passing thru the forecast area from northwest to southeast per
satellite imagery, with otherwise mostly clear skies early this
morning. Surface observations note dew point depressions of a
degree or two, and patchy freezing fog will continue to develop
during the early morning hours in valley locations of primarily
northern Elko County. Satellite observations also confirm patchy
freezing fog that has already developed in a few locales,
including Owyhee.

A building ridge of high pressure will move into the area
today and last thru next week. This will bring gradually warming
afternoon highs each day, maximizing into the 60s Monday and
Tuesday. Overnight lows will be in the 20s and 30s each morning.
No precipitation is expected thru this period and winds are
expected to remain light for the most part. There is the
possibility of strong southwest winds on Thursday ahead of the
next weather system and these will need to be watched. Otherwise
the next round of active weather and measurable precipitaton
looks to move in at the end of next week.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: High confidence in the forecast
due to building high pressure through the period. This will lead
to a warming trend into early next week. Moderate confidence in
our next weather maker arriving late next week though disagreement
in model guidance still exists on timing.
