Updated at 212 AM PST Sat Nov 8 2025 * Patchy freezing fog in the valleys for portions of Elko county this morning * Warming trend persists thru early next week * Potential for a wet weather system arriving late next week && .UPDATE... Issued at 212 AM PST Sat Nov 8 2025 The current forecast remains on track. No significant changes are required. && .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. && .AVIATION...Look for VFR conditions at all terminals through the next 24 hours. && .LKN Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
